Angela and Richard Hartmann and their two adult children are a well-off Munich family with everything in its proper order. Or so it seems. Until Angelika, a retired teacher, decides – against the will of her skeptical husband – to take in a refugee. Soon afterwards, the young Nigerian Diallo moves into the luxurious Hartmann home and a whirlwind of both awkward and funny complications ensues. The picture-perfect family is challenged with disruption as Angelika and Richard’s marriage gets put to the test, their son Philip launches a promising career in China and gradually neglects his own son and Diallo’s chances of integration are threatened as racism, bureaucracy, hatred and skepticism come to a head.
