After separating from her husband Christian, who left her for a younger boy, the pharmacist Eva fell into a deep hole. A year later, the attractive 42-year-old sees a streak of light on the horizon: her eldest son is studying, she gets along wonderfully with her younger boy. Thanks to her profound knowledge of natural medicinal products, a dream job beckons in a pharmaceutical company, but Eva would rather take over the pharmacy in the picturesque small town. Its owner, her still-mother-in-law Annie, longs for Eva to get back together with her son, but love has cured it for now - she thinks. That the charming, 13 years younger doctor Hendrik bursts into her life and takes her heart by storm, is incredible for Eva. The unequal couple promptly becomes the local call, Annie is also angry and threatens to sell the pharmacy to someone else. While Eva wrestles with feelings that she never wanted again, her jealous husband tries to win back his wife - although he makes no move to give up his beloved. An unplanned pregnancy finally puts Eva and Hendrick's relationship to the test.
