Summaries

Master butcher Maria Gissenwehrer wears her heart on her sleeve and makes no compromises. Especially not when it comes to her only passion: the award-winning white sausage, prepared according to an old recipe and refined again by herself. When her brother Kristian is out with a leg in a cast, the grumbler has to do what she is least good at - or dislikes: winning people over and convincing them of something in a friendly way. It is about the sausage in two senses, namely an export order to Argentina and the rescue of their ailing family business. With her pubescent nephew Caspar in tow, Maria reluctantly embarks on the adventure. Her first experiences in Buenos Aires surpass even her worst fears: White sausages end up on the grill, are abused with knives and drowned in ketchup sauce. Anyone who treats their specialty in such a barbaric way doesn't deserve it. Unfortunately, she still has no choice. In order to land the urgently needed major order, Maria has to jump over her own shadow. As usual, she tackles this challenge consistently. And in fact, quite a lot will soon be in motion - not only in the matter with the white sausages, but also in her life.—ARD Das Erste

Bavarian master butcher Kristian Gissenwehrer plans to sell his award-winning variation of the land's traditional white sausage for a small fortune to a meat consortium in Argentina. Disabled by a leg cast after a fall, he must delegate to Buenos Aires his sister and business partner Maria, who is as diplomatic as a hurricane, and smart but rebellious pubescent son Casper, who only wants to attend the legendary football 'classico'. She messes up the appointment by refusing to accept the Argentines prefer different relishes, and annoys the guide Diego by insulting even his family. That's unacceptable to Kristian and there's no early flight home, so next time Casper comes along as interpreter, but she still antagonizes everyone. Yet people learn to appreciate each-other by taking distance.—KGF Vissers
