As a sports doctor, Conny Knipper places far more significance on feet and reflex zones than on boring X-ray machines: in the end his healing hands have proven themselves against more traditional methods. And his motto is that a great deal of private life provides far more satisfaction than medical practice. In “Autumn Fruit” Conny Knipper is up against a difficult situation, a man caught between two boxers and two women. The women are his ex-wife, the fairytale gardener with wit and a beautiful house (Nina Hoger), and the new woman in his life, the doctor with a great deal of soul and a beautiful medical practice (Michèle Marian). When a professional man like Conny is faced with a terrible either-or decision, his professional activities are bound to suffer - but instead he becomes involved in a tense boxing match with fatal results.
