Winnie (12) and Siem (12) meet when their parents, Rik and Tosca, fall in love on the school playground. Before long, they find themselves part of a "blended family"—a concept already familiar to Siem, given that his father, Rik, has been married twice before. Siem and Winnie get along famously and look forward to their parents’ upcoming wedding.
However, when Rik and Tosca suddenly begin bickering and getting on each other’s nerves, Siem and Winnie’s faith in a "happy family" starts to crack. They decide to lend their parents a hand by creating an instructional video filled with useful relationship tips. As they film these tips, Siem and Winnie grow even closer. After all, how hard can it be to just be happy together?
