Neue Chance zum Glück (2011)

Life means well with Merrit Cremer. The capable midwife has a crisis-proof job, a loving husband and two well-developed children - and now she's going on a family vacation together. To cheer up her best friend Bea, who has lost her job, Merrit spontaneously invites her to Italy. Shortly before departure, however, Merrit receives a worrying call: her father Christian is in the hospital with a suspected heart attack. For better or worse, Merrit's husband Immo sets off alone to Lake Garda with Bea and their two children Max and Jule, while she drives to the Eifel, where her parents run a youth hostel in an old castle. When they arrive, it becomes clear that their father's heart problems are not unfounded. Merrit's mother Iris wants to fulfill a long-held dream and emigrate to the South Seas. Merrit has never understood her mother's selfishness, and the old arguments between the two of them flare up again. But then suddenly Immo is standing in front of the castle gate with the children. Jule is completely disturbed - she caught her father in bed with Bea.
