While honeymooning in Namibia, the happy newly-weds Antonia and Dr. Thomas Hellmann are enchanted by the country‘s beautiful, lush green steppes, wildlife, breathtaking colour variations and magnificent desert landscapes. After their holiday, Antonia intends to establish a school for midwives in the bush hospital of her former colleague Dr. Grothe. Just as she arrives to take up her post, Dr. Grothe is injured in an accident, and Thomas spontaneously decides to deputise for him and remain in Namibia as well until he recovers. He first make sure, of course, that his own maternity hospital on Lake Tegernsee can continue to run smoothly in his absence – in the capable hands of Dr. Leitner, Helena and Vroni.
