Synopsis

Matthias is the junger brother of the Landberg-sons.
His brother David did everything to became as great as his father, an successful investment banker. On the other side Matthias always strove after a life far from career and much ambition.
Together with his girlfriend Camille and her six year-old son Etienne, from an earlier relationship, they are living in a cottage of the Landsberg family at the french Atlantic coast. Both living for the moment.

The story starts when David and his wife Lena unexpectedly arrive to make holidays in the same cottage.
The carefree everyday life is past - with David from now on new rules and claims have to receive attention. Just arrived, David pretends to stay in the room, which is currently inhabited by Matthias and Camille, also Camilles son Etienne has to leave, because David sees him as a troublemaker.
Matthias reluctantly accept everything. For him since it applys: "What David says, that has to be done!"

But Camille doesn´t want to hear anything about Davids bossily behaviour, ruffles up against his superiority. Secretly she decides to stir up the pecking order between the brothers and her female trick caters for plenty of suprises!
