Escapade to happiness

The internist Dr. Gregor Marquardt can hardly save himself from undoubted offers from the fair sex. His girlfriend, the management consultant Sandra Bergmann, shows a complete lack of understanding for this. When the Gregor surprises with the nurse Marion, she breaks up with him.

Dr. Rüdiger Baer and Dr. Bernd von Neubert, colleagues and friends of Gregor, also end up at the escort service. The corresponding confusion is thus pre-programmed, but after some back and forth, all misunderstandings dissolve into nothing.
