Storyline
Plot Summary |
For her 35th wedding anniversary, Barbara Weller would like to fulfill a dream: a trip to the sunny lavender fields in Provence. Now that the kids are out of the house, it could finally be time. However, her husband Karl refuses to let her dream come true. So Barbara does what has long been routine in her joyless marriage: She quietly withdraws. Unexpectedly, however, French savoir-vivre enters her entrenched life. By chance, Barbara ends up in a community college course where Alexander teaches the language in an unconventional way - in cafés, at boules or at a picnic. Mehmet, Richard, Simon and Miriam meet there, all of whom want to learn at a hurry. Their teacher not only teaches them vocabulary, but above all how to assert themselves in French. The daily meetings that she goes to secretly set things in motion for Barbara: She notices that the others are also struggling with problems and opens up to new friendships. Her family soon wonders why mom is thriving. The desire to finally take her life into her own hands germinates in Barbara. Written by ADR Das Erste |
