Der Hafenpastor und das Blaue vom Himmel

Stefan Book is Pastor of the Hamburger St. Pauli Church for Schanze, Karo and Kiez. He sees it as his life's task to devote himself to the fallen and stranded. In view of the flight of the young, deportation-threatened African Adoma Fauré into his church, the chummy clergyman proves to be a serious opponent of asylum policy. The fate of the girl allows him to fight for the girl's residence permit without fear of authorities or sanctions of the municipal board. Book grants her church asylum and reaches the limit of its legal possibilities.

Pastor Stefan Book once again has his hands full in his parish in St. Pauli: he has only just managed to talk the mentally distressed sexton Eddi out of attempting suicide when he learns that 16-year-old confirmation student Paloma and her boyfriend Winni, who is the same age, are expecting a child. As Paloma is still living with her alcoholic mother, the youth welfare office would prefer to give the baby to foster parents as soon as it is born. But Pastor Book fights to ensure that the two teenagers can take responsibility for their child despite the adverse circumstances.
