Berlin, June 10, 2024: Pia (Janina Uhse) and Jan (Dennis Mojen) are head over heels: The newly in love couple are in the first stage of their relationship and can't be apart for a single minute. They intend to make their bliss public during a game night with Pia's friends. However, what was meant to be a happy get-together backfires completely, forcing Jan to face several tests at once. He can't count on support from workaholic Karo (Anna Maria Mühe), games nerd Oliver (Axel Stein), gullible Sheila (Taneshia Abt), curious Kurt (Max Bretschneider), or know-it-all ex Matthias (Stephan Luca). Only his buddy Alex (Edin Hasanovic) does everything he can to defend Jan's honor and save the new relationship. Unlucky at cards, lucky in love – will it all work out?
