Since the tragic death of her beloved father, the two have become even closer - at that time the girl helped her grieving mother to overcome a difficult emotional depression. In the meantime, Claudia has her life under control again and has found a new life partner in the sympathetic family lawyer Thomas. Meanwhile, Carolin is toying with the idea of following in her mum's professional footsteps, so she does an internship at her mum's hospital. The shock is all the greater when the teenager finds out on her 17th birthday that she was adopted as a baby. Disappointed and deeply hurt, she blames her mother for never telling her the truth over the years. She now wants to find out on her own who her birth parents are. With the help of the youth welfare office, she finds what she is looking for: her mother's name is Chantal, she is in her mid-30s, chronically broke, but always in a good mood. She leads an easy-going life without family obligations and keeps her head above water as a beautician in a small hairdressing salon in Hamburg's Kiez. Carolin is fascinated and impressed by Chantal's carefree manner, as she is so completely different from Claudia, who is buttoned up in a Hanseatic way and always keeps her feelings under wraps. The attempt to get to know each other better at a mother-daughter dinner ends in a scandal due to Claudia's jealous taunts. Nevertheless - or precisely because of this - the relationship between Carolin and her biological mother is becoming ever more intimate. Finally, after a heated argument, the girl leaves her parents' house and moves in with Chantal in her tiny neighborhood apartment. However, it doesn't take long for Chantal to admit that she's still not up to the responsibilities of being a mother. Hurt and once again deeply disappointed, Carolin feels abandoned by her two mothers and runs away. Written by ARD Das Erste See less
