- Marta, a doctor and mother, lives a quiet and happy family life in the middle of nature with her husband Roland. But the soulful country life suddenly threatens to fall apart when Marta and her six-year-old son Nathan meet Valmir in the hardware store. Shortly after the chance encounter, he shows up at the family home as a handyman to renovate the bathroom. Roland welcomes him with open arms, but Marta is skeptical because Valmir is behaving strangely towards her. She soon suspects that his appearance could reveal a dark secret from her past that neither Roland nor Nathan know anything about. And indeed: Valmir seems to know that Marta was working as an obstetrician in Albania at the time of Nathan's birth. He soon claims that Marta illegally took Nathan into her care after his birth in Albania after his biological mother died during childbirth. But how can he know that? Is Valmir Nathan's father? Marta becomes terrified of losing Nathan and tries everything she can to prevent a discussion. She hopes to satisfy Valmir with a large sum of money. While Nathan is very impressed with his new playmate, Roland becomes more suspicious. The situation continues to escalate and Valmir tries to escape with Nathan. But Marta is determined: she is and will remain Nathan's mother - at all costs.

- It's been ten years since horse breeder Saskia last saw her childhood friend Andrea. The lives of the two women had drifted apart when Saskia had retired after a disappointing marriage and thrown herself full-time into work at her remote stud farm. Andrea, on the other hand, had moved to London with her young daughter. Now Saskia receives sad news: her once best friend died in a car accident. But that's not all: As a godmother, she is now supposed to look after Andrea's 16-year-old daughter Lucy, at least until the youth welfare office has been able to locate the girl's father. Rather reluctantly and out of a sense of duty, Saskia takes Lucy in. It can hardly be any other way, as the contrast between London and the Rhineland provinces could hardly be greater. The cheeky big-city girlie has nothing to do with the country air and the strict rules at the stud farm. She hides behind her computer and keeps getting into fights with her unlocker aunt.
