Actually, Eva Beckstedt is an attractive woman in the "best years". But since the death of her husband, she has turned into a biting misanthrope: nothing and no one is safe from her verbal attacks - tact, compassion and helpfulness are foreign words to Eva. As a result, even the rare visits to her sister Sabine's family are seen more as a duty and a test of patience, and everyone is happy when "Aunt Becki" leaves for Berlin again. However, when one day a gang of youngsters breaks into their small picture frame shop and devastates the entire facility, Eva meets two very different men who shake up their well-ordered lives. On the one hand, there is the good-looking detective Ferdinand Rixen, who ensnares her with subtle charm.

Although he is not at all on her wavelength, he always manages to lure the cool art expert out of her reserve with his humorous, undisguised manner. Not least thanks to Harry's influence, after initial rejection, Eva even agrees to take care of the neighbor's 16-year-old son Dennis while his single mother is in the hospital. Lo and behold: with her special way, Eva finally manages to get the rebellious boy to see reason. Gradually she feels that the encounters with the charming Rixen, the quick-witted Harry and the witty Dennis make a different person out of her - she can laugh again.
