Synopsis

Florian Herbst, to be honest, is happiest when his dad isn’t at home. Then, he can dance around the house with his mom, wear crazy costumes, and forget all his troubles. Hanno Herbst doesn’t really know what to do with his son, who has two left hands and a much too big belly and is neither interested in sports nor girls. But it’s not that bad! There is mom. With a tender dominance, she keeps the family’s harmony in check and protects her two men from each other at least until one terrible morning when the house of cards collapses, and mom vanishes from their lives from one moment to the next. Father and son are left behind, overwhelmed, but gradually learn to cope with each other and find common ground.
