- Naive 18-year-old Dobrila leaves her little Serbian village to travel to Hamburg, Germany, where her boyfriend lives. The trip is not easy, and when she finally gets there, she realizes that he isn't interested in a relationship and doesn't tell him she's pregnant. She heads back home to Serbia, which is an even more exhausting trek.
- With her charming, unconventional manner, Sister Anna Seelenbiner is one of the most popular sisters of the Protestant Diakonissenanstalt in Upper Franconia. With a healthy mixture of humor and sensitivity, she takes on the needs and worries of her fellow human beings. Her superior, Gundula Schwertfeger, is anything but enthusiastic about Anna's free-spirited way of working: In order to teach the rebellious sister humility and obedience, she is forced to deal only with financial matters in the future. Anna's first assignment takes her to a village near Munich to sell an inn which was bequeathed to the Diakonie, but when she gets there she's shocked and puzzled to discover that the "Weißblauer Engel" restaurant is a brothel. After the initial shock, it doesn't take long for Anna to get to know and understand the likeable host Kristos and his three good-humored "angels": Madonna, Xana, and Aurora. She learns from them that an unscrupulous building contractor named Breitmoser wants to buy not only the "Weißblauer Engel" but the entire village in order to build a gigantic tasteless football amusement park on the site. Anna's fighting spirit is awakened. Together with Kristos, the "angels," and a small group of undaunted villagers, she stands in the way of Breitmoser's construction crew--and makes headlines. Superiour Gundula shows up in the village later and Breitmoser has an easy time with her: a few gentle compliments and the superior assures him that the hotel will be sold. In this tricky situation, there is only one chance to find another buyer. The spirited sister gets help from her old friend, the Catholic prelate Schwanthaler, whom she already knew from student days--who owes her a debt.
- Art and curiosities are her life: Together with her husband Wolfgang, Andrea Steckenreiter fulfilled a lifelong dream many years ago and opened a shop for old handicrafts and original junk. The business was never very profitable, but Andrea only became aware of the full extent of her financial distress after the sudden death of her husband. The shop is hopelessly over-indebted and the homeowner is already threatening the bailiff because of the outstanding rent. Together with her mother-in-law Lucy, she is desperately looking for a way out of her misery. The likeable restorer Ludwig Reiter, who has been silently adoring Andrea for a long time, would be happy to give her advice and help. But the "Trödelqueen" stubbornly gives her admirer the cold shoulder. Until one day she accidentally meets a woman in the cemetery who claims to have been her husband's lover - and has been for eleven years. At first the stunned Andrea cannot believe what she is hearing. But she soon finds more clues to Wolfgang's years of hide-and-seek. She gives vent to her disappointment and anger in a radical way: not only does the legacy of her faithless husband fly into the fire, but the defense against Ludwig gradually begins to crumble. Above all, Andrea wants to find out more about the woman her husband cheated on her with: the elegant Elisabeth von Greifenstein runs a small art bookshop and appears unapproachable and superior. Of course, the two rivals can't stand each other at first, one verbal broadside follows the next. But when Andrea finds out that her rival is also sitting on a mountain of debt, she quickly realizes that they can only save their business from bankruptcy if they join forces. Gritting their teeth, the opponents form an alliance of convenience and hatch a (not entirely serious) plan to restructure themselves financially in one fell swoop: They want to sell a truck full of junk as valuable antiques to a rich, aristocratic art collector. If that works out?
- Josef, Andreas and Roman maintain a genuine friendship between men. In their cozy mountain hut, the three philanderers have fun with various female acquaintances. Until Josef - the only one still married - receives the receipt: his attractive wife Barbara leaves the notorious adulterer's suitcases in front of the door. In the inevitable divorce, Roman represents his friend in court as a lawyer. With lousy success - Josef loses his house, car and fortune. Mentally ill, Josef moves into Roman's spacious designer apartment as a subtenant. A flawless "male economy" quickly develops: with his exaggerated passion for esotericism and his penchant for crawling small animals, Josef puts his friendship with Roman to an extreme test. In the meantime, a liaison develops between Josef's divorced wife Barbara and Andreas. Together the two have the child that Josef always wanted. Josef breaks off his friendship with the "traitor" with a punch. An unexpected turn of events occurs when Barbara has to go to the spa. Andreas, who is overwhelmed as a father, shows up at Josef's door looking for help. Together, Josef and Andreas develop unexpected baby-sitting skills: Little Elisabeth is apparently exactly what the (house) men have been missing in their lives so far. The two indulge in pure harmony. People even think about homosexuality - purely hypothetically. As the carousel continues to turn and Roman begins an affair with Barbara, Josef and Andreas quickly move the salon lion out of their own four walls. Now the chaos is complete: Barbara wants her child back and Roman wants his fancy apartment. Three men, a woman and a baby - can that work?
