A darkly comedic ensemble portrait of three troubled siblings navigating identity, desire, and the search for meaning, balancing humor with genuine melancholy.

Focuses on three very different siblings, all searching for happiness. Hans-Jörg is a sex addicted librarian, who is interested in young students. Werner is a successful politician with a dysfunctional family. Agnes, a trans woman, works as a table dancer in a night club. The three brothers just have one thing in common: their longing for a happy life.
