TV-Series, Drama / Comedy / Sci-Fi | 6x 30 min | 2024 | SRF

In 2003, musician Markus (Dimitri Stapfer) still has big dreams. He stands in for his hoarse sister Eva (theater actress Helen Wills in her first TV role) at the "MusicStar" casting. The two of them want to take their band, which they have with their best friend Robin (Kay Kysela), to the top of the charts. But Markus has stage fright. He swallows a tranquilizer pill given to him by a fellow band member.

His audition fails completely and from then on his life is paved with failures, bad luck and mishaps. When, on his fortieth birthday, he is mysteriously given the opportunity to contact his younger self by text message, he suddenly sees this as a chance to change his previously botched life and become a star. He warns himself not to take the pill - and sets off a chain reaction in various parallel worlds that turns his life completely upside down.
