In May of 1983, a man turns 49 and, with his 17-year old son, journeys to the village in Baden that he left 40 years before. He wants to discover what happened then, the truth about an affair his mother had with a young Polish prisoner of war, how the authorities came to learn of it, the lovers' arrest, and the aftermath. While his son takes Polaroid photographs, he retraces the steps of his childhood and interviews those who should remember. The story is disclosed in flashbacks that focus on the lovers (Paulina and Stanislaus), on a jealous and conniving neighbor, and on Mayer, the local SS commander who wants to find a way out of inevitable consequences.

Accordion virtuoso Bruno has signed his first record deal when he is seriously injured at work. At the Alpine Clinic, senior physician Linda Singer advises the immediate amputation of his hand after examining the X-ray images. This would mean the end of the young artist's career. As an experienced surgeon, Dr. Daniel Guth still sees a chance: in a difficult operation, he saves the young musician's hand, but during the treatment he overlooks an internal injury. Has Daniel committed malpractice? Arch-enemy Linda senses her chance to finally replace Daniel as chief physician. With "Emergency for Dr. Guth", entertainment specialist Peter Sämann continues the story of the popular Alpenklinik series. In the role of the dutiful head doctor, audience favorite Erol Sander clearly has too much patience with his adversaries.

The Munich business lawyer Marc is not happy: Instead of going to New York as planned, he has to travel to the province of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania at short notice to represent his sick grandfather as a pub owner for four weeks.

But the down-to-earth Ossis are not in the mood for tapas and Thai food. Marc only realizes this when he gets to know and love the young, single parent Carmen. When Marc's fiancée Lisa shows up, decisions are pending.
