After 27 years of marriage, the shine has gone and it’s time to go their separate ways. Franziska and Bastian Schweighöfer have agreed this without so much as a cross word. But when Granny Mathilde finds out that the couple want to separate, she develops a cunning plan with her grandchildren: Granny pretends to have a minor heart attack; in order to not worry her any further, Franziska and Bastian dutifully play “happy families”. As granny and her grandchildren planned, the act is so exhausting that the still-married couple soon start arguing. And those who argue still love each other! But then Mathilde suffers a real heart attack...
