Evening Laughs: Beginner's Guide to Grandchildren Comedy (8:15 PM - 9:55 PM)
In a twist of retirement life, Karin finds herself craving for adventure and excitement. Her partner Harald, on the other hand, is more interested in practical matters, like saving up for a stairlift, rather than taking off on far-off journeys with her.
Drawing inspiration from her energetic sister-in-law Philippa, who volunteers as a foster grandmother, Karin decides to step out of her comfort zone. Despite having limited experience with children, she quickly wins the trust of young Jannik, and even his troublemaking sister Merle warms up to the straight-talking senior. Even Karin's old friend Gerhard, a former doctor, finds unexpected success in bonding with his adorable grandson Viktor.
Meanwhile, Harald remains entrenched in his old habits, oblivious to Karin's newfound zest for life. However, when Jannik's nearly age-peer father, Kai, starts showing romantic interest, Karin begins to feel alive beyond just being "Grandma". She yearns for even more daring adventures.
