Während die Familienidylle nach außen gewahrt bleibt, trifft Christine sich heimlich und regelmäßig mit einem Freund der Familie MARTIN (Tobias Moretti) ist seit längerem ihr Geliebter, doch in Christine regt sich Widerstand gegen diese allzu reglementierte Sexbeziehung. Dass auch Ehemann Georg fremdgeht, ist ihr bewusst. Dennoch bemühen sich beide, den Ehealltag mehr oder weniger angenehm miteinander zu leben. Zusammen macht sich die Familie auf den Weg in ihr Urlaubsdomizil am Mittelmeer. Als Christine im idyllisch gelegenen italienischen Ferienhaus ihr Schlafzimmer beziehen will, liegt ein gut aussehender junger Mann, der Tramper TAMAZ (Jacob Matschenz) in ihrem Bett. Er flirtet kurz mit der überraschten Christine und haut ab. Obwohl sie den Vorfall gleichmütig beiseite schiebt, geht Christine der fesche Tamaz nicht aus dem Kopf. Abgelenkt wird sie nur von der Tatsache, dass Tochter Sonja über Nacht nicht nach Hause kommt. Was Christine nicht weiß: Sonja ist wild entschlossen, in diesem Urlaub zum ersten Mal mit einem Jungen zu schlafen. Christine ist über Sonjas Selbständigkeit besorgt, ihr Mann Georg beruhigt sie. Doch Christine hat große Schwierigkeiten mit dem Erwachsenwerden ihrer Tochter und kommt damit überhaupt nicht zurecht. Als sie wieder auf Tamaz trifft, der ebenso fordernd wie unwiderstehlich mit ihr flirtet, bleibt Christine, aufgekratzt und unruhig wie sie ist, dem frechen Schönling nichts schuldig. Kurz entschlossen bestellt sie ihn für den nächsten Nachmittag zu einem Tête-à-tête in ein Hotel. Auf der Terrasse des Ferienhauses bereiten Sonja und Georg inzwischen Christines Geburtstagsfeier vor, bei der als besondere Überraschung plötzlich Martin und seine Frau LINDA (Petra Morzé) vor der Türe stehen. Als Martin und sie kurz alleine sind, wirft Christine dem heimlichen Geliebten zornig vor, dass er ihren ausdrücklichen Wunsch, ihn nicht sehen zu wollen, ignoriert hat. Die Situation eskaliert und die wütende Christine wird handgreiflich. Immer noch sauer verlässt sie ihre Geburtstagsfeier und trifft Tamaz wie verabredet im Hotel. Dort will sie zwar gleich zur Sache kommen, doch ganz so cool gelingt ihr das dann doch nicht und sie zeigt Tamaz, dass sie in Wahrheit große Angst hat verletzt zu werden. Die beiden verbringen den Rest des Tages im Bett, leidenschaftlich, glücklich, verliebt. Als Christine zum Ferienhaus zurückkommt, wird bei einem nächtlichen Gespräch mit Linda klar, dass diese von dem Verhältnis zwischen ihrem Mann Martin und Christine weiß. Linda hat sich aber so scheint es damit arrangiert. Immer krasser steht Christine das von ihnen allen getragene Lügengerüst vor Augen, immer absurder erscheint ihr die ganze Situation. Nur rückhaltlose Offenheit, die ebenso ungewohnt wie verletzend ist, scheint ihr eine Chance zu sein, Leben in ihr stagnierendes Dasein zu bringen. Christine und auch Georg erkennen, dass es keine ideale Lösung geben wird, aber es dennoch möglich sein könnte, die leeren Gewohnheitshüllen zu vermeiden, und miteinander lebendig zu bleiben!
