As in every year, Gundula Bundschuh hosts the family with all relatives for Christmas with her biggest wish being, to have a harmonic family celebration, while her husband Gerald only wants his peace.
Not only Gundulas brother Hans-Dieter who is a neurotic hypochondriac, writing relationship guides with his religious wife Rose join, also Gundulas dominant mother Ilse and father Edgar who is slightly confused because of his age join the celebration.
But this isn´t enough, Gundulas vicious mother-in-law Susanne who constantly fights against getting old also arrives. The already expected chaos doesn´t only cause everyone to have a nervous breakdown, it also reveals a few good kept family secrets. On top of all Gundulas already difficult marriage crisis gets worse and worse.
