Anna Christeiner (Christine Neubauer) lives with her little daughter Elise (Ronja Forcher) and her mother Zensi (Veronika Fitz) in the Alpine village of Hohenfels in East Tirol. She can make ends meet by renting guest rooms and selling land produce. But when Mayor Stadlhuber (Alexander Held) threatens to ruin this idyllic region by building a high-ski-lift, she refuses to sell the piece of land needed to complete the project. Johannes Wallner (Sascha Hehn) is sent by the construction engineer to help persuade Anna to change her mind. Fifteen years ago, Johannes had left Hohenfels after a quarrel with his mother Leni (Julia Gschnitzer) and brother Markus (Timothy Peach).

But the crowded everyday is just too much for everyone. The marriage is pressed to the limits when Johannes spends day and night working for the attractive hotel owner Sabine von Auen (Claudia Wilde)...
