Synopsis

Spoiler shield

Casual single man with daughter meets smart single parent with son - sounds like a good start! Unfortunately, the omens are anything but favorable: neither of them feels like getting to know each other today of all days. The perfectionist chef is under pressure because she wants to serve up the best spaghetti bolognese of her life at a test cooking session for her dream job that evening. Philipp has to prove himself in a difficult group at his new job as a tourist guide. An aerial bomb that paralyzes Cologne's city centre means extra stress to the power of three for the two of them! The single parents spontaneously join forces: She looks after her seven-year-old son Fritz and his daughter Miriam, who is the same age, in the morning, while he takes care of the children in the afternoon.
