The Schalckwyck Family lives in a wealthy part of Berlin. Mother Krista and Father Michael want to provide all the opportunities they can to their kids Karl und Anna, twins who are facing the final high school exams. While ambitious Anna already knows what she wants to do with her life, Karl spends all his time on his blog "The Language of Many Others", where he also posts family photos, straining his relationship with his dad.
