Gerold Plassek is an unsuccessful journalist on a free sheet. As an ex-girlfriend who suddenly has to go abroad and entrusted him with her son Manuel, his everyday life changes suddenly. The critical 14-year-old becomes a real challenge. Manuel has no idea that this "failure" is his father - "Geri" lacks any drive, the local pub is his living room and alcohol is his most reliable friend. But his misanthropic life is moving.
