- Fanny Burkhard is a woman in her prime: attractive, fit and successful at work. Together with Roland Beck, she runs a management consultancy whose specialty is threading hostile company takeovers: large corporations that want to swallow small companies find cunning helpers in the duo. But the collaboration with her ex-boyfriend Roland, who once left her for a younger woman, is noticeably troubling Fanny - she has been suffering from insomnia for three years. She urgently needs distance and a change of scenery. With the newly planned agency branch in Hong Kong, this goal seems to be within reach. But before it can go to the Far East, she is supposed to thread one last deal in her home town of Munich: A Chinese company wants to buy a small German game company. Before making an offer to the owner, Fanny should get more information about his new, still top secret board game - not a grateful job, because the control-mad business woman hates all kinds of games. During the preparations for the undercover assignment, Fanny is amazed when the weird game inventor Christian turns out to be her former flat-share neighbor from student days. Back then he broke the heart of her best friend Nicole. Fanny makes contact with him through a fictitious chance encounter and begins to spy on him. But the better she gets to know him, the harder it is for her to betray him. The fact that her 20-year-old nephew Florian gets along brilliantly with Christian's pretty daughter Marie doesn't make matters any easier. On the other hand, Roland finally wants to see results and Nicole is not allowed to find out what Fanny feels about her former crush. The hardened businesswoman is getting more and more into a moral dilemma.—ARD Das Erste
- Playful college boy Florian (20), who dropped out of law school, gets a far from warm welcome when surprising-visiting his workaholic, sleepless aunt Fanny Burkhard, who buried herself in work as business partner in Roland Beck's Munich business consulting firm after the mother of his two boys snapped him up romantically due to Fanny's trailing. She changes her tune, almost begging him to stay, when she realizes a lovable gamer is just the ally she needs to score the deal that can win her last dream, heading the new Hongkong office, by convincing her study days housemate and admirer Christian to sell his old-fashioned firm, which devises original board games but ails financially due to backward marketing, to her German client rather then a Chinese competitor. Christian invites them to his Baavrian Alpine cabin home, where Florian gets on great with his daughter Marie. Fanny must face her past, options in life and conflicting loyalties, including to buddy and former love rival Nicole.—KGF Vissers
