3 German men of about 40 years old decide to take a men-only holiday only in a luxurious villa at a small lake in Sweden. They are there to make up the balance of their lives. Thomas a chain-smoking hypochondriac, Jens undecided between his wife and kids and his mistress, Malte a fun loving sort of macho. In Sweden they party with beer, wine, vodka and barbecue and soon with some new male and female acquaintances. This goes on until halfway the movie things take a turn and they have a good look at themselves and each other and come to some enlightening conclusions.
