Town assistant Katja has just been appointed director of her district, but has no time to celebrate: Maria, an elderly farmer’s widow, has fallen from a ladder. When Katja arrives, she finds herself confronted by chaos wherever she looks. And when Maria returns home after recovering in the hospital, she is furious with Katja for having restored order in her home. But Katja now has another concern: a charming Turkish doctor from Berlin who caught her eye as he was helping his relatives move into the house next door to Maria’s.
