Her friend Frijo can only dream of so much affection: Not even on their anniversary together does Maja find time for a glass of champagne in intimate togetherness. But the self-confident career woman sees no problem in her lack of private life. That's why she falls from the clouds when Frijo packs his things one night and leaves her without warning. But Maja soon gets a replacement for her missing flat mate: her very sprightly mother Charlotte moves in with her without further ado. Allegedly to comfort Maja over the breakup. In fact, after a series of weaknesses, the family doctor gave the old lady a choice: either a nursing home or a daughter. At first, Maja is anything but enthusiastic about this "attack", as it is usually only a matter of minutes before the tatters fly between the two. But it soon becomes apparent that the elegant Charlotte has a few clever ideas in store to bring Frijo to her senses. Measure number one: A supposedly new lover is needed. However, this is easier said than done, because not even Maja's colleague, the notorious hospital Casanova Nick, is seduced by her very direct advances to a date. What mother and daughter do not know: In truth, Frijo does not want to part with Maja permanently. His only concern is to give his work-hungry girlfriend a lesson. At least the joint efforts of Maja and Charlotte have a positive side effect: For the first time in many years, a reasonably trusting relationship develops between the two women. While Charlotte keeps forging new plans to help her daughter find love, Maja begins to be interested in the life of her father Otto von Wiesenthal, who died at an early age. Her mother had always praised the man highly. Maja is all the more shocked when, during research, she discovers that Otto von Wiesenthal cannot possibly be her biological father.
