While his wife Juliana commutes to Zurich as a doctor, Freddy is at home in Constance looking after their 13-year-old daughter Zoë and little Niko. Freddy believes that dropping out of medical school to work as a nursery teacher is the best decision of his life. When Juliana is offered the position of head of pediatric oncology, she wants to move to Zurich with the whole family. For her, this would mean an end to the exhausting commute, finally more time with her family and a higher income. Freddy, however, doesn't want to leave his familiar surroundings. Even he is not entirely without ambition in his poorly paid job, because Freddy has his own educational ideas - and has the prospect.

Freddy and his wife Juliana leave the comfort zone of Constance and move to Berlin. With Grandpa Fritz in tow, the Kleemanns move in with Grandma Regina.

Accordingly, he wants to take his time and savor the intense moments. Freddy's mother-in-law Regina is supposed to provide relief for the Kleemanns. She likes to be there for others, but would like to be pampered again herself. Perhaps a new acquaintance would do her good? That's what her grandchildren Zoë and Niko think when they secretly register their grandma on a dating platform...

Documentary film about a Yugoslavian migrant worker couple who have been living in German-speaking Switzerland for 16 years but hope to realize their dreams and values by returning to their homeland.

Documentary film that deals with four main thematic areas in Fassbinder’s films: The exploitation of love, the human tendency for mutual repression, the resulting loneliness, and powerlessness that leads to an explosion of violence. Fassbinder’s genius lay in his logical and uncompromising combination of these various themes into a harmonious unity, while at the same time creating a very personal self-portrait of himself. All Fassbinder’s films are self-portraits in disguise. His greatness was one of emphasizing the negative, the darker aspects of things. Through his radical use of rigorous subjectivity he was able to be objective, whether in Fear Eats the Soul, The Marriage of Maria Braun or Effi Briest.
