Based on the bestselling biography: Entertainer Horst Lichter has barely had time to relax on his holiday when his mother calls him. In her own dry way, she tells him that she has been diagnosed with cancer and that things are not going well for her. Immediately Horst returns to his hometown with his wife Nada. Returning home brings back childhood memories - of a loving father and a mother who held the reins firmly in difficult situations. Horst tries his best to support his mother Margret - he organises doctor's appointments and tries to provide a little variety into her daily life, even though the relationship between mother and son has been strained for a long time: he counters his mother's edgy, frosty manner as he had learned to do when he was young. He emphasises the positive side of any situation and is always ready to respond with a snappy retort. When Margret learns how serious her illness really is, Horst begins to rethink his own life as well.

Após ser expulso de casa pela namorada e encher a cara, Christoph (Christoph M. Ohrt), um típico policial machão acorda nu ao lado de Edgar (Tim Bergmann), mecânico gay que trabalha com restauração de carros roubados. Sem saber o que aconteceu e sem ter um lugar para ficar, Chistoph acaba aceitando a proposta de Edgar e passa a morar no quarto de hóspedes. Enquanto Edgar se apaixona por Christoph, esse revê seus conceitos, questionando seu próprio modo de viver. Com a chegada da mãe de Edgar, conturba ainda mais o relacionamento dúbio dos protagonistas...
Uma comédia alemã sobre pré-conceitos e aceitação. Inofensiva sim, um pouco previsível, mas que diverte pelo simples fato de ser alemã, mesmo que dentro dos típicos padrões de Hollywood.
