One day before Christmas, on December 23, the Schmidt family moves into their new apartment in a Berlin high-rise; until then, they lived in tranquil Birkenwalde. Little Sebastian fears that Santa Claus doesn't know about their move and therefore won't be able to bring him his presents. Even if he knows where Bastel and his parents now live, he might not be able to find him because there are several families in this large building with the name Schmidt.

Vera and Wolf Küper live in Berlin with their 5-year-old daughter Nina and their one-year-old son Simon. Vera takes care of the children and the household alongside a part-time job, while Wolf works as a scientific advisor to the UN, trying to raise awareness of the seriousness of the coming climate catastrophe. The stressful everyday life in a system that is not exactly family-friendly puts increasing strain on the young family and the couple's relationship. The Küper family's way of life is finally shaken to the core when little Nina is diagnosed with a fine motor and coordination disorder. At this moment, Wolf remembers a wish that his daughter expressed shortly before going to bed. Nina would like to have a million minutes, just for the really nice things.
