Anna found paradise in Amsterdam with Ed. But her dad makes her promise on his deathbed to take care of her limping adult sister Lili. Anna feels obliged to stay although Lili refuses her. Then Ed turns up with an ultimatum.
Dutch flowers grocer and tulip breeder Ed Verkerk is engaged with Bavarian Anna Lechner, planning to adopt as they are infertile. When her father Wenzel Lechner has a cardiac crisis, she returns home and promises on his deathbed to take care of her spinster sister Lili, who lacks confidence to face strangers due to her cripple leg. His testament appoints Anna sole manager of Munich family flowers firm, infuriating Lili, who secretly prepared for that role. Anna stays, compromising her family founding plans, to run the company and seek a suitable rile for Lili, whose social shyness is more crippling then her leg. For the latter, handsome doctor Lorenz Bergmann suggests an experimental stem cell therapy, which Anna considers another 'study scam', while Ed starts loosing patience as they miss their crucial adoption interview and their marital potential no longer seems a priority to her.—KGF Vissers
Anna Lechner has hit the jackpot: she loves her work as a flower wholesaler in Amsterdam and she has found the man of her dreams in Ed Verkerk, an ambitious tulip grower. The only thing missing from perfect happiness is a child. But since it doesn't work out with their own offspring, Anna and Ed now want to adopt a baby. But before that happens, Anna receives disturbing news: Her father Wenzel, who is in poor health, is in the hospital. Anna immediately rushes home to Munich. On her deathbed, Wenzel makes her promise that Anna will take care of her younger sister Lilli. Lilli is the complete opposite of the self-confident Anna. Since a serious car accident when she was a child, in which her mother died, Lilli has been unable to walk and has to wear leg braces. Lilli, full of complexes because of her disability, is unable to run the family business, a flower mail order business. Anna stays in Munich for the time being to help Lilli and quickly reverts to her old role as Lilli's protector, which makes Lilli feel patronised. Tensions arise between the sisters. Still, Anna can't bring herself to leave Lilli alone and jeopardizes her happiness with Ed. Lilli doesn't suspect anything about Anna's problems, because right now everything seems to be turning out for the better for her, as she meets the likeable, dedicated doctor Lorenz. Lorenz has developed a new surgical method that may be able to cure Lilli. And he makes her feel like an attractive young woman, not just a pathetic disabled person. Lilli is in seventh heaven, which in turn makes Anna skeptical, as she fears that Lorenz is giving Lilli false hope. She confronts him. Unfortunately, Lilli watches this meeting - and thinks that Anna is trying to steal the man from her.
