Until now, Carlo thought he was living a quiet, manageable life. And he seemed content with his "small world". But somehow, things have not been running smoothly in Carlo's life for a few weeks now. At home, problems are emerging with his son Hendrik and wife Jutta. His now somewhat outdated garage, which he has been running for 30 years, is hardly generating any orders, and even his tortoise Adenauer is giving him grief because she has stopped eating. And now? Carlo has no intention of letting his long-serving employees Becker, Roger and Köll go, because they are more than just his employees. They are his best friends, without whom Carlo's life would really no longer be possible.
