Supported by her daughter Merle and her smart son Stefan, she has made the Schwarzwaldhof one of the top addresses in the area. But the idyll does not last long: Veronika's mother, the former operetta singer Lore, has announced that she is coming. There was radio silence between the two women for 25 years. True, Veronika made repeated attempts to contact her mother. But not even after the death of Veronika's husband, Lore, who had only had her career in the USA on her mind all her life, was there for her daughter. So it's no wonder that Veronika isn't particularly happy about Lore's arrival, especially since the eccentric diva apparently wants to stay with her daughter permanently. Veronika has no idea that behind Lore's cheerful attitude, with which she playfully wraps her two grandchildren and the hotel employees around her finger, is a whole series of serious problems: the former stage star is broke, has neither a home nor health insurance, and is being pursued by creditors and suffers from a weak heart. But she doesn't find the courage to confide in her daughter - and as a result is heading straight for a catastrophe. Meanwhile, Veronika finds solace and distraction from family stress with Max Henninger, a trout farmer she hopes to hire as a new supplier for the hotel. From the first, turbulent encounter, there seems to be a very special connection between the two, and the initial friendship quickly develops into a tentative love. But the closer the two get, the more Max seems to pull away. Veronika is puzzled - until she learns that Max's wife was murdered in a robbery. Max still hasn't gotten over her death. Veronika knows that she doesn't stand a chance against the memory of someone who has died - but she doesn't want to give up on Max that easily. Written by ARD Das Erste See less
