Her warm, friendly manner has enabled Dr. Johanna Lohmann (Christine Neubauer) to overcome the initial mistrust of the rural population here; she has gained their respect and confidence, and she is looking forward to sharing her future in Grossraming with the local vet Laurenz Hofer (Timothy Peach). But now her former boss Peter Curtius (Helmut Zierl) announces that he is coming for a visit... and that he wants to entice Johanna back to the Munich research institute to work on a fascinating project. However, his interest is not merely of a professional nature; he misses Johanna and wants to be together with her. Laurenz is well aware that this charming man is making advances to Johanna; feeling jealous and offended, he withdraws - leaving her suddenly facing an extremely difficult decision.
