Wieder daheim (2008)

It's been 24 years since Maren Bertram left her parents' farm in Bavaria. At that time, after the mysterious accidental death of her mother, she had a serious argument with her father Maximilian, whom she blamed for the death of her beloved mother in a mixture of anger and sadness. Meanwhile, the attractive and self-confident Maren has made a career as an investment banker in New York. Now, however, a message from home forces the shrewd businesswoman to face her past: Theres, the father's housekeeper, has written to her that Maximilian's health is not in good shape. So Maren takes a few days off to return to her home village and visit her father, who has broken off all contact with her since the argument. The farm has now become a sanctuary for animals, which Maximilian runs together with the veterinarian Eva, in which he has found a kind of substitute daughter. Maren's insecure attempts to reconcile with her father seem to fall on deaf ears with the stubborn old man - he still refuses to tell his daughter the whole truth about the tragic death of her mother. A small ray of hope for the returnee is the reunion with her childhood sweetheart Johann. It doesn't take long for the old feelings to flare up again between the two of them. Then by chance Maren finds out that her father's farm is heavily in debt and is about to be forcibly sold. What she doesn't suspect: of all people, the charming Johann has set his sights on the traditional family property in order to realize a gigantic building project. When Maximilian, who is in poor health, learns of the connection between Maren and Johann, a world collapses for him. Convinced that his enterprising daughter is in league with the building speculator, he strongly reproaches her. Maren has long had a clever idea how, with Johann's support, she can save the farm from being sold.
