Official Synopsis

After the separation, Julia and Robert try "nesting". But what initially seems good for the children only makes things more complicated for the whole family. Twelve-year-old Marie and seven-year-old Maxi continue to live in the house, while the parents take turns every week. But Robert's only aim with his proposal is to save the house and buy time for Julia to finally come to her senses. Julia, however, doesn't think much of waiting around.
