- The work is hard but fulfilling: since the death of her parents, the dairy farmer Klara has single-handedly tried to keep the family farm afloat in the Eifel province. But the milk prices are in the basement, business is bad, and Klara cannot get a new loan. The idealistic young woman has no choice: she will have to sell her beloved farm. In this situation, after a long time, she made contact with her sister Mika, who lives as a successful gallery owner in fashionable Dsseldorf. The two women could hardly be more unequal. However, they are completely in agreement on one point: namely that the other has no idea what "real" life really is. But now the career woman Mika finally sees the chance to steer her sister's life in new directions. Without further ado, she invites Klara over - which she soon regrets, because with Klara the full country life finds its way into the stylish designer apartment. While Mika's husband Philipp finds the breath of fresh air invigorating, her spoiled children Lola and Moritz are initially irritated by Klara's blunt manner. A personality coach should prepare the country for urban life and show her professional prospects - with moderate success. In return, Klara meets a man in the organic delicatessen shop Hauke who is completely on her wavelength. When someone interested in buying the farm finally reports, the sisters want to spruce up the dilapidated property a little before visiting. For the two of them, the trip to the Eifel is also a trip back in time, and it doesn't take long before old rivalries and repressed conflicts break out again. Back in Dsseldorf, the situation escalates when Mika feels publicly exposed by her sister. The ultimate break seems inevitable.
- Power woman Carla Bergmann is a committed pastor with heart and mind. Thanks to her media-effective appearances, Carla has made a difference in the Third World and, after eventful years abroad, is now looking forward to her pastorate in Cologne. Here she finally wants to take care of her daughter Sarah, who is in a marital crisis. But nothing goes as planned: Sarah resists her domineering mother, and Carla's promised position is already occupied by someone else. The pastor is forced to take over a small church in Sauerland, where she has to start from scratch. At her inaugural service, the church remains yawning, and on top of that, Carla has the thankless task of mediating between the residents and African asylum seekers, who are supposed to move into the former country school despite resistance from the population. Carla only gets support from her brother Lorenz and the art historian Konrad Bechtholsheim, who finds the new pastor more than just likeable. Daughter Sarah, who fled to the country after her marriage to her mother, also supports Carla in this difficult situation - much to the delight of the charming brewery owner Rolf Kottenburg, who falls head over heels in love with Sarah. Carla slowly gained the community's trust with her hands-on manner, but then events came rushing: The recently renovated country school home, where the asylum seekers were to be housed, caught fire.
