The heavy work never left the two much time for contemplative togetherness: pragmatism instead of romance determined their togetherness. But despite all the hardships, after the unexpected death of her husband, Elli is determined to continue the business. Elli cannot expect any help from her daughter Kathrin, who works in a luxury hotel in Munich, and her son Christian, whose Thai wife Alicha runs a hairdressing salon in the village. Her bank advisor Kurt also urges her to sell the heavily indebted farm as quickly as possible. But the militant farmer's wife ignores this advice as well as Kurt's amorous advances. She wants to take her life into her own hands, and that includes finding love again - a man who can lend a hand on the farm without spoiling the romantic relationship. For this purpose, she enlists the help of a dating agency, where she is classified as "difficult to place" due to her job. In fact, at first only odd types and aging couch potatoes seem to seek contact - and even their interest dwindles as soon as they find out about Elli's job. Raymond, from Zimbabwe alone, is undeterred by the prospect of living on a farm. When they first meet, the two immediately like each other, with his down-to-earth, reserved nature, the African can immediately win Elli over. Without further ado, she offers him to move in with her on a trial basis. However, the mismatched couple causes irritation in the village. The men in particular view the dark-skinned Africans with suspicion and prejudice. Even Ellis' own son, although married to a foreigner himself, is skeptical about the new man at his mother's side. But Elli doesn't want to let her new happiness be destroyed that easily. She defends Raymond against all hostilities. However, when he is denounced by a villager at the immigration office, Elli dares a courageous step to save Raymond from safe deportation. Written by ARD Das Erste See less
