About

Hannes, a writer and family man, has to figure out how to rebuild his life without his wife and children.

Writer Hannes, played by Sebastian Bezzel, lives in Hamburg with his wife Sara (Anna Schudt) and their nearly adult children Carla (Kya-Celina Barucki) and Nick (Philip Müller). His novels are no longer as successful, and his caring attitude gets on his family's nerves.

Sara starts questioning their marriage and moves out together with Carla. At the same time, his publisher cancels his book series, and Nick struggles with his A-levels. Hannes is on his own and must find a way forward.
