Plot

Everything runs like clockwork for the Jens family: Hanna and Martin are extremely happily married, their son Paul is a bright, funny eleven-year-old boy. Professionally, too, things are going well: Both are employed in managerial positions in a Hamburg shipyard, Hanna in quality management, Martin in the development department. Everything is fine the way it is. And then it gets even better. Because completely surprisingly, Hanna is promoted to second managing director by junior boss Bernd Möller. A recognition that Hanna would never have dreamed of. And Martin is overjoyed, too, as he now sees the necessary funds for the development of his passion project, a revolutionary fuel cell, within reach with Hanna's support. Of course not all that glitters is gold. Because what Hanna didn't know, the traditional shipyard is on the verge of bankruptcy. Hanna has to go through a tough austerity course, which Martin's project also falls victim to. Sworn to secrecy by junior boss Möller, Hanna cannot confide in her angry, disappointed husband. Thick storm clouds are now hanging over the former picture-book family, which are becoming even darker because of Martin's widowed, headstrong father Willfried, who has temporarily moved in with them. For Willfried, the mere fact that not Martin but Hanna became boss is an impossibility; that she is now also - apparently - deliberately sabotaging his son, another sign of the completely wrong course of the modern world. Where will this all end? First of all, in a veritable marriage crisis of the former dream couple. While Martin seeks encouragement from a young colleague, Hanna wears herself out in her fight for the shipyard and slowly discovers that someone is playing the wrong cards in order to enrich themselves from the ruin of the shipyard. But it seems too late to try to save both the shipyard and their marriage.
