Wolfi is in his mid-40s and wants to revisit the good old days with his three best buddies in the Provence, where life is good. Little does he realize that his old chums are in the middle of growing up for real, bringing their wives and kids and all their everyday family problems too.

Kalle, a nice middleclass kid, who because of a debt and old friendship ends up as a 'fidibus', a gofer, for the hash baron Paten. But only until Paten is anything but innocently jailed and asks Kalle to mind the store while he is gone. No one touches Paten's money, Paten's car or, least of all, Paten's girl, Saby, who is dumber than water.

16-year-old Jonas is in love with his best friend Isy, but she likes older boys. When Isy takes drugs at a party and loses control in the intoxication, Jonas friends Lenny and Martin make fun of it with Jonas. But then the situation escalates and the three boys rape the unconscious girl.

An unfortunate misunderstanding leads to another and suddenly Isabel is caught in a web of lies. A web of ghastly lies: She lets her friends believe that she is suffering from cancer.

Just as she begins to have doubts, she has to realize that she has gone too far for truth.
