The door has been closed for many weeks. A teenager has locked himself in - shutting out a helpless father, mother and sister. In Japan, youths like him have already been given a name: Hikikomori (the secluded). The phenomenon is also beginning to spread throughout the Western world. This is all the family has been able to find out. All they can do is stand in front of the locked door and ask, beg, implore, throw tantrums, despair, accuse, ignore and hope.

BVB fan Philipp would do anything for his favorite team. When he gets wind that the pretty Viktoria wants to poach BVB's best player for FC Bayern, Philipp sees red. A soccer promptly hits Viktoria's head with full force, causing her to suffer temporary amnesia. Philipp sees his chance and pretends to her that he is her husband and her name is Dörte. He has to keep up this lie for three days, until the changeover period has expired. But the more time passes, the more the soccer fan's guilty conscience grows, especially as he finds Viktoria extremely likeable as Dörte.
