Since the death of his wife five years ago, he has barricaded himself in the house that is now much too big. Just him and his memories of Betty - Georg is happy with that. He doesn't even notice that he's becoming more and more neglected, but his daughter Judith does. Judith wants to move to the USA with her husband and will then no longer be able to look after Georg. But that Georg stays alone and nobody cares for him - unthinkable for Judith. But what should happen to such a recalcitrant father who, when something goes against the grain, likes to literally make fun of his fellow human beings? The evil word of incapacitation hovers over Georg when the lottery win comes at just the right time. Now he can afford all the support he needs and thus maintain his independence. Accordingly, he celebrates with his co-winner and brother-in-law Heinrich. The sad awakening follows the next day. Heinrich can no longer find the note. A disaster. But then comes the saving thought: Word has already got around about the prize and it has made a corresponding impression. So why not just keep playing the lottery kings, at least until Judith has left for the USA with peace of mind? At least that's what Sylva suggested, the lively roommate from Heinrich's retirement home. In no time at all, Georg's house is spruced up by the sprightly residents of the home, and before Georg knows it, Sylva introduces herself to his daughter as his partner and moves in with him. Georg defends himself against Sylva's intrusion into his life with his characteristic rebelliousness. Another woman. At Betty's house. Unbearable. Or? Secretly, Georg feels more alive than he has in a long time, although of course he would never admit that. And Heinrich also fights against feelings that he has suppressed all his life. He fell in love with Edward. But how is he supposed to live a love that he has always denied himself now that he is over 70? Georg and Heinrich, both stubborn and insecure, are about to gamble away their luck - will they come to their senses?
