But a strange coincidence wants Ina to hit the mark: Richard actually cheated on his wife Claudia (Rita Russek) as a young man and spent a night with the beautiful tour guide Hanna (Simone Thomalla), who has since become a charming, but not particularly thriving country hotel on the Balearic Island. And Hanna's daughter Antonia (Camilla Renschke), about the same age as Ina, could well have been fathered by him. A realization that Richard initially only shares with his friend Max (Guntbert Warns), a perpetually youthful and penetratingly optimistic philanderer. But then Richard, despotic and insufferable from years of career struggles, is passed over for an important promotion and finds his wife in his competitor's arms of all places. Deeply depressed, he flees to Mallorca and rents a room in Hanna's hotel, initially incognito, in search of traces of his youth. Hanna and Antonia hold the cranky guest, who comes without luggage, finds fault with everything and checks the weight of the steak served by the restaurant with a letter scale - "if the portions are so generous, then you can't get anywhere!" for the spy of a hotel chain and try to get rid of him. The deadlock becomes much more complicated when Claudia, Ina and Max gradually arrive in Mallorca. A series of revelations ensue that make Richard realize what life is all about really matters. Sigi Rothemund's comedy, filmed in the wild and romantic Majorcan mountain landscape, is a quick-witted plea for more tolerance in married life and relationships, with all sorts of surprises and ingenious parallel plots. In the role of the lovable complainer Richard, Dieter Pfaff once again shows himself to be a gifted comedian with perfect timing and a lot of self-mockery. The quick-witted and contemporary script was written by a team that has worked for television before: the well-known crime writer Leo P. Ard and the Mallorca-based travel writer Birgit Grosz.
