Richard, who's just been passed over for an important promotion, finds out that his wife is having an affair with his arch-enemy. As if that weren't enough, he also learns that he has an illegitimate daughter on Majorca. He contemplates suicide, but chooses Majorca instead, renting a room at the hotel run by Hanna, the woman he spent that single - and fateful - night of love twenty years ago. Since he's using a pseudonym and has put on some weight since their tryst, Hanna doesn't recognize him. And her daughter Antonia can't stand him. No wonder, since Richard spends his time complaining about the conditions in Hanna's hotel. Indeed, Hanna and Antonia are doing the best they can, but they urgently need an imaginative cook and a talented handyman if they want to survive the fierce competition on Majorca. The hotel becomes the stage for a fireworks of surprising revelations when Richard's wife, daughter and best friend arrive on Majorca. While Hanna and Antonia learn of Richard's true identity, Richard's wife dishes out a major confession of her own that again turns everything upside down. Once the waves of emotion have calmed down, all parties agree that Richard - who happens to be an excellent cook and handyman - should start a new life on Majorca…
