A clumsy twenty-something in search of a job, an apartment and a boyfriend accidentally ends up in the shared apartment of her teenage crush and tries to get her life back on track.


Emma is in her mid-twenties, a few pounds overweight and one fiancé short. She has just caught him cheating with his stepsister and is already single and looking for an apartment in Berlin. She’s also out of a job, because her ex was also her boss. By chance, Emma ends up in the flat-share of her boyhood sweetheart Tom, who wants to get Emma back on her feet, when there are no women moaning in his bed. Emma’s best friend, Julia, motivates her to look for a job and also turns out to be a self-convinced matchmaker. If Emma only knew, whether Tom and all the women are really dating and what she really wants from him… But she can’t really think about that, because suddenly her ex is standing in front of her again.
