Plot

The three different German-Turkish brothers Celal, Sami and Mesut are in their thirties and still live together in the small apartment of their parents in Frankfurt am Main and run the inherited bridal fashion store without success. Womanizer Celal also can't get over the separation from his ex-girlfriend Anna and wants to open a mobile phone shop, but has gambled away their joint inheritance. Sami longs for a wife. However, his first dates often go down the drain, because of his quickly budding rage. The youngest brother Mesut is a hopeless romantic and dreams of a career as a successful musician. However, this does not fit in with his recent decision, which is to adhere the rules of the Quran.

The problem situation of the three brothers gets even worse, when they suddenly have to take care of the baby of Anna, because she is hospitalized. With help from his brothers Sami and Mesut, Celal tries to fulfill his duties as a surrogate dad. After a chaotic start, the three brothers learn to take responsibility and the tasks and duties of a father in a rush. They begin to enjoy the company of their little fosterling.
