After her divorce there is only one thing Bettina wishes for: to travel to Italy, visit her best friend and have a real holiday with her, taking along the children Tom and Lisa. But first she decides to visit her great-uncle in Bavaria. She hasn't been back to his idyllic farm since she was a little girl. Much to the disappointment of her mother, who feels it would make more sense for Bettina to start looking for a job, she sets off with the children... and arrives in Bavaria just in time for the funeral of Uncle Gustav. When the executor of Gustav’s estate Dr. Steinbach reveals that the farm now belongs to her, Bettina is stunned and clueless.
