Felix enjoys his single existence to the fullest and is happy without family and children – until his annoying brother Henne moves in with the honey-mad ferret Karsten. After all, Henne reveals his great source of income as a sperm donor.
Promptly Felix follows his example and the money worries are solved for the time being.
At a wild one-night stand, Karsten suddenly appears and accidentally bites himself under Felix’s belt line: From now on Felix is infertile. He had not imagined a life without family and children. So he tries everything to find the recipient of his precious inheritance.
He is not badly surprised when Henne illegally stole his file: the famous TV presenter Maren becomes the mother of his only child. The problem is that she’s about to get married to Ralph. But Felix does not want to miss the only chance for a family and does everything possible to get to know Maren better…
