Cathi, a popular and esteemed psychologist and in her spare time a highly active climate crisis campaigner, wants to finally relax on a Greek island - and mend her relationship with her beloved but increasingly odd husband, ex-stage performer Ricky. Ricky tries to hide from the world and his wife that he suffers from severe anxiety disorders; instead of composing new songs, he hides away all day in his rehearsal room, where he does nothing but swallow tranquilizers and combat his fear of being afraid. The additional fear of losing his idolized Cathi drives him to delicately irritating acts of jealousy.
Next door is the flamboyant Philipp, a journalist and womanizer, who knows all the tricks of the trade, and who wants to land a coup: A man called 'Konfusius' is causing quite a stir on the Internet with his bizarre appearances and eloquent sermons against nature-destroying mankind. But nobody knows who he is or what drives him. Büttner suspects him to be on the island, and he wants a big story.
With so much need for recreation and so much to talk about, Cathi and Philipp soon become threateningly close. And there are other disasters on the horizon besides climate change.
