Elisabeth Romm wants to start all over again: The attractive and successful antique dealer is determined to get married for the second time and to start a new life with her great love Bert. But then it happens: On the day of the planned wedding, Bert collapses in front of the registry office with a heart attack and dies. From one moment to the next, stunned Elisabeth is left with nothing. She has not only lost her beloved life partner, but also her livelihood - namely, she had already given up her antique shop, as well as her own apartment. First, the grieving, disturbed Elisabeth comes to live with her daughter Isabel. But she soon senses that, above all, Isabel's selfish husband Adrian wants his mother-in-law out of the house as soon as possible. And suddenly Elisabeth realizes that she has to overcome the grief and look ahead again - so she quickly packs her suitcase and starts a journey south: just set off, without a specific destination and without a return ticket.
