Three sisters, one sketchy pilot, and a baking powder empire—German soap chaos at its finest.
The sisters couldn't be more different: while journalist Dana is fighting tooth and nail for the position of editor-in-chief, her sister Julie has decided to forgive her husband Bertram for his affair and return to him. However, when the betrayed woman learns that the infidelity is harmless compared to what Bertram did to her in the past, Julie draws a line under it. In this turmoil, Maria reminds her two sisters of the urgently needed patent renewal for the baking powder that their mother once invented. But Dana and Julie don't have the nerve for that at the moment. Because in addition to all the back and forth, they have both found a new crush - who happens to be the same man! Only when Maria finds out why the charming pilot Claus is courting Dana and Julie at the same time do the three "golden girls" pull together again ...

Part of the wildly successful 'Drei teuflisch starke Frauen' franchise—German television's answer to 'Steel Magnolias' but with more inheritance disputes and fewer deathbed scenes.
Ruth-Maria Kubitschek, playing the matriarch, was already 78 here and had been a major star since the 1950s—her presence legitimizes the entire enterprise through sheer veteran gravity.
