The introverted man in his mid-forties, Hans-Christian, who everyone calls H.C., is in a very bad way. He is going through a kind of
midlife crisis. For years, his wife cheated on him every day with a lover under the text message codeword "Happy Hour" and then left him. This is extremely hard on Hans-Christian. In order to rebuild the emotionally battered man, his two childhood friends, the stuffy and macho Wolfgang and the cynical know-it-all Nic, come up with the idea of taking him on a two-week trip to
Ireland. Wolfgang owns a small, picturesque
cottage there and they want to take Hans-Christian's mind off things. So the three mid-forties travel to the rainy Irish province to relive their youthful years with fishing trips, lots of
Guinness and whiskey, undressed wood chopping and wild party nights in the pub and to make Hans-Christian feel that there is still life after the
break-up. After a carefree start on the island, over time each of the three friends, soon approaching 50, has to ask themselves whether they have achieved all their goals and wishes in life. Increasingly, the exuberant joy and relaxation among the three friends give way to arguments and squabbles. The question arises as to whether the friendship that bound them together in their youth still exists. Which is also put to a tough and unforeseen test by a group of Irish women. At the end of their short vacation, Nic and Hans-Christian fly back home.Only Wolfgang stays behind in his vacation home, trying to decide whether he wants to return to his family or to the self-confident Irish woman Kat, whom he met during his stay in Ireland. ==Cast==
