It has been over 20 years since Maren Bertram left her parents' farm after a bad argument with her father Maximilian. At the time, she blamed her father for her mother's tragic death. Now the successful investment banker returns to her small Bavarian home village. After all these years, she finally wants to reconcile with the old stubborn man, but that is easier said than done. The fact that Maren's childhood sweetheart Johann seems to be involved in the impending forced sale of the farm doesn't make things any easier.
Maren feels very much at peace in her new home. Her relationship with her father is improving and her son comes to Munich from New York for a research project. But the ex-banker can't really rejoice, because the financial situation is still tense. A creditor holds promissory bills from Bertramshof, which he sells on to a wealthy sausage manufacturer. When it turns out that the new co-owner is closely related to Maren's father Maximilian, the financial difficulties are compounded by unexpected family problems.
