Annette Kramer and husband Ingolf are now parents - but not yet on paper. The youth welfare office only gives them custody of 14-year-old Ole on a trial basis. At first, neither of them want to believe that the busy hotel manager and the fully booked psychotherapist should be cutting back on their jobs. While the fairly independent orphan boy Ole, who likes it in his new family right away, gets along well at first, the youth welfare office keeps a detailed record of the omissions of the foster parents. After the adoption gets more and more in danger, Annette and Ingolf blame each other. Their loud quarrels bother Ole. When he disappears without a trace, the entire project threatens to fail. Meanwhile, uninvited guests make life hell for the Kramers. A group of German nationalist lawyers, who drink and sing as fraternity members as they used to, threatens to upset the peace in the hotel. The leader Kai Kressin soon instigates a small war with Annette, in which the hotel founder Hermine also allows herself to be provoked. When even Ole gets caught between the fronts, Ingolf throws his de-escalation strategy overboard. After an exchange of blows in front of guests, the scandal is complete. Now not only the reputation of the hotel is at stake, but also the adoption.
