Berlin, 1929: Fate deals Katharina a dreadful blow. Suddenly, she is on her own with two children and her dream of becoming a doctor feels very far away. There are also dark clouds hanging over Greifenau Manor as the Great Depression afflicts its residents, both the noble family and the servants. In light of the financial problems and the perilous situation, Count Konstantin is increasingly changing his political stance - much to the annoyance of his wife Rebecca, who is actively looking after their three children as well as Katharina, who has fled back to her home manor in her hour of need. Katharina befriends the manor manager, Albert - and discovers his secret... At the same time, there is no lack of news among the servants. Bertha is back, and she is not the only one who brings an unexpected addition. Plus surprise guests from America arrive.
