Sarah and Karim, a couple from Düsseldorf who met on a dating app during the pandemic, prepare for a wedding with 150 guests as the film opens its portrait of modern romance. Annette, married fifteen years, describes discovering her husband's long affair and then, after the split, experimenting with five simultaneous lovers built on total honesty rather than commitment. Thorsten and Axel, together for years and running businesses side by side, recount becoming the first gay prince couple at carnival celebrations in Mönchengladbach in 2019, and talk about love as reliability rather than fireworks. Interviews with the couples are intercut with commentary on how courtship and partnership have shifted across generations, from arrangements decades ago to app-driven dating now. The film does not argue for one model of love over another; it lets very different relationships, monogamous, polyamorous, gay, straight, sit next to each other and describe what commitment feels like from the inside.
