A well-off Munich Famille offers boarding to a refugee. Diallo from Nigeria soon makes friends among the Famille members, but they are tested when they have to face racism, bureaucracy and terror suspicions because of him. With her grown children Philip (Fitz) and Sophie (Rojinski) out of the house, well-to-do Munich socialite, mother and retired teacher Angelika Hartmann (Berger) is lonely. Inspired by German Chancellor Merkel´s "open door" policy toward refugees, Angelika decides, against her husband Richard's (Lauterbach) wishes, to host young Nigerian refugee, Diallo (Kabongo) in their home. With the decision regarding his asylum request quickly approaching, Diallo has been instructed to lay low and stay out of trouble. There is a major problem: the Hartmann’s home is anything but peaceful. As Diallo makes friends with each of the Famille members, they find themselves confronted with their own personal issues, as well as racism, bureaucracy and suspicions of terrorist activity that unleash a whirlwind of complications for Diallo and the Hartmanns. Often pushing stereotypes and clichés about both refugees and Germans to their comedic extremes, Verhoeven's film blends humor with contemporary political hot topics, creating a crowd pleasing comedy about acceptance.
