Completely burnt out, without a job or prospects, but with her son Theo in tow, Olga has to bury her high-flying big city and career dreams and seek shelter with her parents back in her home village in her early 30s. While mother Lilo is happy to have the two of them with her, Holger continues to punish daughter and grandson with stoic disregard. Holger cannot forgive Olga for refusing to take over her parents' farm, breaking off her engagement to the young farmer Nico head over heels and simply moving to the big city.
