In order to save the girl from imprisonment, her aunt Johanna agrees to take Malu in with her until she has completed her social service in a retirement home. The rebellious half-orphan, whose single father Paul has hardly any time for her as a pilot, initially finds being placed with her aunt just as restrictive as a stay in prison: far away from the hustle and bustle of the big city, Johanna has lived in her parents' house since childhood, an idyllic one Pension located on a lake. For the funky teenager, this environment is of course a deadly boring wasteland, especially since Johanna hasn't rented rooms to tourists for a long time. Her only permanent guest is the quirky German professor Franz Gmeiner, who is in early retirement. The residents of the next village consider Johanna to be dismissive and harsh, and since separating from her husband she has led a secluded life as an artist. So it's no wonder that she and her bold niece kept getting into arguments at first. But Johanna quickly realizes that behind Malu's rebellious facade is in fact a vulnerable girl who is still struggling with the loss of her mother and the constant absence of her father. On the other hand, Malu senses that rugged Johanna might be more like her in some ways than she thought. A kind of friendship gradually develops between the aging hermit and the young rebel, in which Malu learns to take on duties and responsibilities, while Johanna finds her way back to life through her lively niece. Eventually, Malu can even persuade her aunt to clean up the pension and rent out rooms again. Everything is going well until one day Malu's "cool" friend Bill shows up. After a quarrel with Johanna, she elopes with him to the city - and by violating the court conditions she risks being put in youth detention after all. Written by ARD Das Erste See less
