Two modern women and their free-spirited mother struggle to balance their private, professional and family lives.

Hiernamaals tells the story of Sam, a hyperintelligent and hardworking 14-year-old girl who leads a happy life with her father and her two brothers in the south of the Netherlands. She is a good student, very strict with herself and she is always on time. She also takes care of her two younger brothers; since her mother Vera died, she’s felt responsible for the family and now she takes care of the household with her father. One morning — rushing to school to help her math teacher print exams — she is struck by a large truck and she dies. In the hereafter she finds her mother waiting for her. It's a strange feeling of both happiness and sadness. She discovers that there is a way back to life, but will she succeed in taking her mother with her?

Now officially divorced, Sophie and Kasper are trying to find a way of living their new lives. How do you deal with your ex finding a new partner? In the meantime, everyday life continues with its normal challenges, like having teenagers around the house and an intervening mother. The series' focus is again on the smart dialogue and relatable characters. Despite their imperfections and flaws, you still have to love them.
