Nico, Sid, and Adrian are in their late fifties and are slowly but surely being pushed aside bythe relentless society. Unemployed HR manager Nico is mainly the forced caretaker of his
grandchildren, as his daughter Jennifer is constantly fighting against a burnout. Former
bridge operator Sid longs for a grandchild that his spoiled son Carlo is not willing to grant
him. And when the untalented writer Adriaan unexpectedly ends up with grandchild Gina
from Suriname, the three friends have had enough.
Unhindered by the lack of any knowledge on the matter, the three start their own plan for a
commercial daycare. Their journey takes them through the maze of bureaucracy, marriage
crises, and conflicts between fathers and their spoiled children. Reluctant banks and airy-fairy
coaches, unreliable real estate agents and conservative CEOs put their plan under immense
pressure and their friendship at stake. However, Nico rediscovers his lust for life, Sid finds a
new love and gets a grandchild, and Adriaan discovers that his talent is suitable for writing
children's books. And when the three friends find a new concept for a contemporary version
of daycare, they manage to fight their way back into society and regain their self-respect.
