Even on Christmas Eve, Heinz Becker’s wife Hilde and son Stefan are not granted any peace and quiet, as their head of the family with the Batschkapp and the eternally chattering mouth turns the celebration of love into a less than contemplative horror trip for the whole family. Even the question of whether sausages should be served hot or cold with the potato salad leads to disputes under the Christmas tree – which Heinz can only force into balance with brute force. When the Christmas tree figure remains untraceable, the oven develops volcanic heat and mother Hilde completes the chaos with her unconditional desire for harmony, Heinz is proven right once again when he says: “Christmas is a matter of nerves”.

Neuf mois
Samuel est psychanalyste. Toute la journée, il voit des patients exprimer des griefs, en particulier des adolescents rebelles qui méprisent leurs parents. Cette situation l’a conduit à voir d’un mauvais œil l’idée de sa paternité. C’est alors que sa compagne Mathilde lui annonce qu’elle est enceinte. Terrifié par l’idée, Samuel vit les neuf mois de grossesse de Mathilde plutôt comme un cauchemar, et les conseils de son ami Marc, homme à femmes mais célibataire endurci, n’arrangent rien à son angoisse. De leur côté, Georges et Dominique, la sœur de Marc, déjà parents de trois filles, affrontent sans inquiétude la quatrième grossesse de Dominique. L’expérience des uns va finalement avoir raison des appréhensions des autres, et entre les deux couples vont se tisser de solides nœuds d’amitié.
