Everyone knows it: the really important things aren't on the stupid to-do lists. But why not? - From the outside, Vera (Karoline Herfurth) and Wolf Küper (Tom Schilling) lead a dream life with their two children Nina (Pola Friedrichs) and one-year-old brother Simon (Piet Levi Busch): a nice apartment in Berlin, he has a career as a biodiversity researcher and expert for the United Nations, she has a job as a civil engineer specializing in sustainability alongside the household and children. But on closer inspection, things look very different: The marriage is in crisis and, like most couples, both are in the unfortunate dilemma of juggling everyday life with the feeling that they can no longer do life justice. When Nina is diagnosed with developmental delay, Wolf and Vera realize that something has to change fundamentally.
One night when they are going to bed, Nina suddenly says: "Oh, Dad, I wish we had a million minutes. Just for the really nice things, you know?" The wish hits Wolf right in the heart, and he suddenly realizes that it is much more important how Nina, Vera and Simon are doing, and that every minute together is more valuable than a glittering career.
One million minutes, 694 days, almost two years. Let's go! First to Thailand, then on to Iceland. The Küpers set off in search of a new, different way of life and discover anew every day: we only have every minute once.
