About

If you get the chance to fulfill your lifelong dream, you shouldn't hesitate for long and must seize the opportunity. That's how idealistic midwife Irene Lieblich sees it. Her big dream is to open her own birth center. She has already found the perfect place for her project: a beautifully situated property on the outskirts of a picturesque Bavarian town. It all seems like a sure thing - the application has been submitted to the local council, the building finance is secured thanks to an unexpected inheritance and Irene has already rented a small terraced house for herself and her nine-year-old daughter Katja. But then, to Irene's horror, another interested party turns up for the property: funeral director Siegfried Schroff. He also wants to fulfill his dream of opening a private cemetery in this rural idyll.
