Packed to the Rafters

Nachdem auch der letzte Sprössling von Dave und Julie Rafter ausgezogen ist, heißt es für das seit 25 Jahren verheiratete Paar endlich, dass sie ein "sturmfreies" Haus für sich alleine haben. Die Freude über die neu gewonnene Freiheit währt nicht lange, denn der Auszug der Kinder ist nicht von langer Dauer - schlimmer noch: es ziehen noch mehr Mitbewohner ein…

Centres around Dave and Julie Rafter and their three children Rachel, Ben and Nathan. On the eve of their twenty-fifth wedding anniversary the couple thinks that they are finally about to have the house to themselves. But home is a very welcome refuge for their children and when unforeseen problems loom, they return like a boomerang.

Pour leur 25ème anniversaire de mariage, Dave et Julie Rafter pensent enfin s'être débarrassés de leurs quatre enfants. Seulement, au moindre problème leurs enfants font leur retour au domicile familial.

A Rafter házaspár, Julie és Dave épp a 25. házassági évfordulójukat készülnek megülni, amikor Ben, a középső fiú kijelenti, hogy két testvére után, ő is kirepül a családi fészekből. Julie eleinte elkeseredik, de férje meggyőzi, hogy remekül kihasználhatják a lehetőséget, hogy ezentúl a ház csak az övék. De ettől kezdve a házaspárra meglepetések sora vár és semmi sem úgy alakul, ahogy eltervezték. Hamarosan ráébrednek, hogy nem egészen erre vágytak. Julie édesapja Ted, a nagyapa még mindig felesége elvesztését gyászolja, lányuk, Rachel pedig kezdi elveszíteni a párkapcsolatba vetett hitét.

En la víspera del veinticinco aniversario de su boda, la pareja piensa que por fin van a poder disfrutar de la casa para ellos solos, después de haber criado ya a sus tres hijos, y haber conseguido que cada uno tenga su propia vida, con sus casas, sus trabajos, sus familias… Sin embargo, a causa de unos problemas imprevistos que les surgen a cada uno de los tres, el hogar paternal se convertirá de nuevo en el refugio de toda la familia.

Julie ja Dave ovat saaneet hetken nauttia rauhallisesta kodista, mutta nyt huomaavat taas kotinsa täyttyvän ääriään myöden.
