Linda Rosenau cares only about her job. As editor-in-chief of a successful women's magazine, she must always stay at the top edge. There is hardly time for her adult daughter Leonie and her three little grandchildren; the stressed-out Leonie has to go to hospital after a fainting spell and Linda has no choice but to take care of the babies - which, as it turned out, are the result of a one-night stand. Father of the children is untraceable, but Linda senses the grandfather of the cute triplet in the widowed teacher Dr. Jakob Buchmann...

Physician Niklas Sanders's girlfriend Anna deserts him unexpectedly during a holiday on Mallorca. She's still not quite over her separation from Rolf. Niklas is visited by his daughter Susan, who planned a cycling tour with good friend Robby, but he prefers sailing with his buddy Pit. Niklas's initial mutual disgust for haughty real estate agent Kate is soon reconsidered by both. Then he discovers she's trying to evict him to pass the villa to her elderly mother, who meanwhile meets an old hotel-owner, as ignorant of Spanish as she is.
