A brilliant brain surgeon, compassionate physician and borderline workaholic, Dr. Sonya Martin has excellent chances of being appointed clinic director. To have gotten this far she's needed tremendous discipline, along with the superhuman patience and support of her husband Bernhard. These solid pillars of her existence begin to sway when the couple is suddenly forced to take care of their three young grandchildren for a couple of weeks. Problems ensue, ranging from kiddy food preferences to teen heartache. It's all a bit too much for Sonya, who tries desperately to control the situation that's constantly slipping from her hands... and into those of Bernhard. Though he's a busy lawyer himself, he always seems to have time for the kids. But there is one thing that's increasingly missing in Bernhard's life: Sonya. Fortunately, she, too, begins to realize that her career dream will not only bring rewards, but also make great demands on her and her husband. She knows that she will be missing out on the things that truly make her life worth living for: a loving partner, wonderful daughter and three fantastic grandchildren. Maybe it's time for her to take a step back and rethink her priorities...
