Full plot (contains spoilers)
Franka Lauth is the art director at a successful advertising agency in Berlin. She is good at her job and can afford a luxurious lifestyle. Besides an expensive penthouse apartment, she also owns a stylish convertible. But one day, just as she is about to present a spectacular campaign, her documents are stolen by her fiercest competitor, Markus Spreng. When her boss, Roland Kunze, doesn’t believe her, Franka quits in a fit of anger. But after being used to success, she now finds it very difficult to get a new job. With no way to avoid going to the employment office, she takes a job as a kitchen assistant at a catering company. At least she can use the money to keep up with her payments. However, Franka gets lucky again. She falls in love with her boss, Jakob, an incredibly talented chef. But since he has no idea how to present his culinary creations, Franka uses all her talent to pitch a few marketing ideas. The business is doing poorly, so he can’t put them into action. Instead, he has to cut costs and let her go. Franka promptly starts her own catering company with Deria, a former employee of Jakob’s, and it becomes a huge success and a well-kept secret. Meanwhile, Jakob is doing worse and worse. But when Franka soon lands a major contract for a gala dinner that she can’t handle on her own, she asks Jakob for help. They had parted on bad terms, and suddenly their old feelings are back.
