Guest Meier is every restaurant owner's worst nightmare. He behaves like Croesus when dealing with the staff. With his snobby and abusive conduct, Meier even manages to expel other guests from the restaurant. Meier sharply criticizes his ordered food after just a single bite and demands a completely new meal "on the house." The restaurant's chefs Harald and Tim feel their professional honor is grossly insulted. Together with waiter Peter, they discuss how to put this "problematic guest" in his place, working themselves meanwhile into a rage. Will diplomacy triumph over barbarous brutality or is violence sometimes indeed a solution? And what does an instant photo camera have to do with all this?

Oliver and the much older photographer Hendrik are a couple. A rather contrasting couple: Hendrik has already achieved a lot in his life and is considered an 'old hand' in his profession. Oliver, on the other hand, is only at the beginning of his career as a photographer and has retained a childlike naivety and playfulness in his life plans. Oliver and the young Silvia meet at a photo session. It is immediately clear to the ambitious Silvia that Oliver is her springboard to a modeling career. That same evening, Hendrik proposes to Oliver. But Oliver makes an almost unfulfillable condition: He wants a child! Hendrik is completely at a loss. What should he do? Then Silvia bursts into his house. All she really wants is to be photographed by Oliver. But things turn out differently...
