His pigeons are all his passion. When he's not doing his unloved work in the call center and listening to his boss's lectures, he lovingly takes care of the feathered gems, whose names are either Richard Burton or Liz Taylor, depending on their gender. Unfortunately, daughter Dani and wife Rita do not get enough. There are more and more arguments between her and Mathias, which is mainly due to the considerable stacks of unpaid bills and very last reminders. To make matters worse, the children's home where Rita works is also supposed to be closed. And what does Mathias do? Buys pigeon feed by the sack. Rita has had enough. From now on: the pigeons or me. But does Mathias really have the heart to part with his loved ones? Rescue is coming in the form of Ronny Kowallek, of all people, the tormentor of bygone childhood days. He has it in his head to win the largest pigeon race in the world, in South Africa. Prize money: one million dollars. Mathias, the pigeon whisperer, is to become his partner and breed the winning pigeon. He initially refuses: Putting his beloved Taylor/Burtons in the service of the windy Ronny is not compatible with Mathias' pigeon father honor. But what if Rita is really serious about the divorce? After all, Ronny would keep the pigeons with him so that Mathias could make her believe that he was giving up his expensive hobby for her sake. Mathias agrees, and at first the plan even seems to work, but soon the feathers are just flying around their ears. After surviving initial difficulties, Dani, Mathias and Ronny finally set off for South Africa - but the million-euro race still has a lot of surprises in store. Written by ADR Das Erste See less
