She has just made a potentially profitable breakthrough with a special formula for natural compost that is already attracting interest from well-funded investors. In this situation, she gets a call from home: her widowed father Anton, who runs the family farm in the Allgäu as a one-man business after a bitter quarrel with Ellen, has suffered a serious heart attack and is in the hospital. Since her heavily pregnant sister Leonie is not in a position to take care of the dairy cows and no new farm hand can be found quickly, Ellen, with a heavy heart, decides to give up her work in order to take care of the farm at home To take care of. For her, it becomes a journey into a past that she thought she had long since left behind: her conservative father's refusal to let her run the dairy farm in order to break new ground was just one of the reasons why the young woman left her family turned his back. The pain of the failed relationship with her childhood sweetheart Felix Kleiber, who cheated on her with her former best friend Karin, still hurts. Ellen's return opens up wounds for everyone involved: Felix, who has since separated from Karin, offers his help, but is brusquely rejected. And Karin, who now works as a bank advisor, is also suspicious of her former rival's efforts to take care of the family farm. Ellen fights against windmills because it turns out that the company has horrendous debts. If Anton cannot repay a loan of 71,000 euros within six weeks, his property will have to be auctioned off - and it is Karin of all people who, driven by revenge and disappointment, insists on this deadline. In her distress, Ellen devises a bold plan to save the dairy farm. However, she did not reckon with the bitter resistance of her father, who has since recovered and who fights against his daughter's progressive thinking with all his might.
