This can't be all there is to lif... Pitschi Greulich (MAXIMILIAN BRÜCKNER) experiences a severe midlife crisis. Why is everyone around him becoming so square? He for one wants more out of life than a townhouse with a pebbled driveway in the idyllic city of Bamberg. Pitschi finally panics when his best friend (STEPHAN LUCA) settles down as well and his longtime girlfriend starts talking about "children". All he wants now is to get as far from all this as possible! Spontaneously and secretly he gets on a plane to Buenos Aires. There he wants to start a new and exciting life that's anything but square. Pitschi already dreams about living the high life in the big city at the side of his sexy, Argentinean language instructor, Luna (MELANIE WINIGER), who's giving him more than Spanish and tango lessons. For a minute, it seems he found the woman of his dreams. But things aren't what they seem to be and Pitschi realizes that, back in the countryside of Franconia,  he already has all he's looking for in Argentina. Now all he wants is to get back as quickly as possible before Biene finds out about her honey bunny's little 'trip'...
