- For Berliners, the Baltic island of Usedom was once the most luxurious destination for excursions within striking distance of the city. This is where imperial Germany's grand health resorts of Bansin, Heringsdorf and Ahlbeck were built. Heinz Brinkmann, who was born in Heringsdorf, traces the eventful history of his island. He talks about the magnificent villas on Europe's longest beach promenade, about the expulsion of Jewish citizens by the Nazis and about Usedom being split into a German and a Polish half after the Second World War. During the GDR era, most of the spa architecture remained intact because of the lack of means to build something new. Since the fall of the Wall, however, investors have been trying to replace it with indistinguishable luxury residences. Brinkmann also asks people about conservation and change. We hear from the mayor infuriated by the architectural eyesores of recent years, a farmer who bought an island in the Achterwasser lagoon for his organic cattle, a Polish hotel manageress and other bridge-builders between the two countries. Brinkmann also quotes from his own 1992 Usedom film and compares the plans of his former protagonists with today's reality. A discursive tour through a fractured paradise.

So Theresa spontaneously decides something crazy: To leave the gray everyday life behind, she gets on the next bus to Usedom and rents a room at the "Möwe" guesthouse. What was planned as a day trip turns into an indefinite holiday in the enchanting, slightly dilapidated hotel with a view of the lake. Theresa gives the fun-loving pension landlady Elisabeth Rosenbauer a hand and enjoys the unexpected attention and recognition of the illustrious pensioners. Above all, the amiable advances of the divorced boat builder Sebastian Schneider are balm for the soul of the neglected wife and mother. In the relaxed atmosphere, Theresa also passes the driver's license test and strengthens her scratched self-confidence. Richard finally notices that something has probably gone wrong and makes his way to Usedom. When on arrival he witnesses, unnoticed, how Sebastian makes a fiery declaration of love for his wife, he takes up the fight: Richard hires himself in as "Mr. Neumann" and does everything in his power to win his wife's heart again. It's not that easy, because Theresa has changed in the meantime. And she clearly enjoys the fact that two admirers are vying for her.
