A group of 30-somethings are forced to choose between the pleasures of single life or becoming parents.

Overview
The passage of time is probably the only concrete proof we have that justice exists in this cruel world. Some people would like to stop time in its tracks, while others choose to follow its path. In this story, three men in their early thirties have reached that age when it's time to start thinking about "getting a life", perhaps starting a family. But how do you handle the fact that your friendships are changing? That, slowly, your new family is becoming the center of your ever-shrinking world? What do you do when you realize your youth is a thing of the past?

Irren ist männlich
Lawyer Thomas Neumann is extremely successful in his career and happily married to his wife Bettina. Nevertheless, he has a mistress on the side, who one day reveals to him that she wants him to have a child. Thomas agrees, but a sperm test reveals that he is infertile. Now he asks himself the question: who is the real father of his children? His brother Johannes, a priest, helps him to find out the truth. Thomas suspects two former friends with whom he and Bettina used to go on vacation. He invites them to his home so that he can carry out comparative studies in peace, as genetic testing didn't exist back then. One friend has gone mad, the other is blind. The two of them cause Thomas' household a great deal of confusion, especially as he has to entertain an important business partner from overseas at his home.
