Power woman Franziska Zis (Susanne Uhlen) has made it. Her debut novel “The Perfect Woman” is a huge success. At book fairs people flock around her - including Alexander Karl (Erich Hallhuber), programme director at Sender TV: he wants Franziska to present a talk show for his station.
And suddenly Enno (Axel Milberg), her long-term boyfriend and the father of her youngest daughter Fanny, is determined to marry her... though it soon emerges that this is for purely pragmatic reasons. He intends to manage her career, and behind her back he not only announces that she is working on her second novel but also negotiates a TV contract. It isn’t long before his high-handed behaviour drives Franziska to take drastic action: she escapes to the mountains with her three children so she can finally be herself again. However, the holiday turns out to be far from relaxing, since the three energetic kids keep her busy from dawn to dusk. By chance she runs into Alexander Karl here; he has followed his wife to the same hotel in an attempt to patch up their marriage. Since he is convinced that Franziska is the only person who can host his new talk show, he tries at the same time to win her over - with every means at his disposal. And now, on top of everything else, Franziska falls in love with the romantic man and spends a passionate night with him.
When her car is stolen on the journey back and she is forced to hitchhike with the three children, she is picked up by none other than her old school friend Marie (Dana Vavrova). Marie is also at a turning point in her life: she has separated from her husband and now intends to fulfil her old dream of putting together her own fashion collection. Franziska is absolutely staggered to learn that Marie’s husband is Alexander Karl himself. Back home a further surprise is waiting for her: Enno has moved out. Fortunately Alma (Nadja Tiller), Enno’s lively mother, has decided to remain with Franziska and the children. Franziska now suggests that Marie and her son Maxi (Mike Delberg) could move in as well. And thus it comes about that the three cheerful, energetic women establish a women’s household based on the motto “one for all and all for one”. However, soon their slogan is subjected to a severe test.
