Interior designer Barbara Seeberg simply takes care of everything: her unreliable husband Johannes, her dependent, adult daughters Amelie and Freddy, her discerning mother, her little granddaughter, the household and her business. She hardly ever cares about herself. That changes when Barbara, in the middle of preparations for her 50th birthday, discovers that her husband is cheating on her - as so often before. But this time she will pay her husband back with the same coin. In a mixture of anger, sadness and a thirst for adventure, Barbara asks the likeable kiosk owner Enrico Aleramo to accompany her on a short vacation and escapes with him to the idyllic Amalfi coast. But Enrico's happy, noisy extended family is already waiting for them at the port. At first, Barbara is anything but happy about this unexpected reception committee. Despite the family "siege", Barbara begins to fall in love with Enrico. For the first time she experiences that someone takes care of her.
