When his mother is rushed to the hospital with severe seizure-inducing headaches, Moritz decides to temporarily move in with the two gay men next door. The two men are not entirely happy with this new responsibility as they are already having some relationship difficulties, one is under a lot of pressure due to a possible promotion at work and the other is missing city life.
While the small Swiss town has accepted having two gay men living there, having a small boy live with them raises issues of homophobia and pedophilia. Add in an icy Teutonic grandmother who's been estranged from Moritz's mother for years, an overworked part-time mayor and several meddling housfraus and you have the beginnings of a public uproar just when the President of the Swiss Republic is planning a trip to this, his old home town.
Soon Moritz has won the hearts of the two men and his presence helps them to begin to patch up their differences. But will the townspeople let him stay or will he have to go to a foster home?
Well made and to the point this Swiss made for television story gives us a unique look into contemporary Swiss small town life and attitudes
