In the second season of the ‘Sadcom’ series about single widower Metin, hope for happiness makes an appearance - but without losing the refreshingly rugged narrative tone. "This time, MAPA is even more of a mood collage and emotional weather report, sad and lively. Also because Max Mauff is the man for all moods between despondent, larmoyant, vulnerable, hysterical, loving and helpless. As Metin, the well-paid author of soap series, Mauff also masters the difficult game between clever and stroppy. The impertinence and stubbornness, the turmoil of not wanting one thing and not being able to have another, becomes the Mapa sound, especially through him. And so it also manages to be very playful at times. The stories take on a very nice surreal momentum when, for example, a giant robot babysitter appears. Director Jano Ben Chaabane is just as stylistically adept at concentrating on the small moments as he is at being over-the-top. The reappraisal of Metin's most recent acquaintances in a cowboy tale, which he makes up for his daughter and which becomes an episode in the film, is captivating. When cowboy Metin, all in white with a veil, realizes shortly before the wedding with his dominant flame that he doesn't have to tie himself down again: Because he's not alone. After all, he has Lene." (Harald Hordych, on: sueddeutsche.de) Metin and Lene flee the city because of an outbreak of the Different-Virus. Together with Mahta, her pregnant friend Susi, Tom, Mia and the children, they have rented a house in Brandenburg illegally. While Metin enjoys the new country life, he cannot ignore the fact that he is sexually attracted to Susi and likes pregnant women. While Lene absolutely refuses to go to sleep alone, the rest of the group gets into trouble with a very threatening neighbor.
