Zwei übern Berg

What is the difference between a professional relationship and a romantic relationship when the secretary sacrifices her life for her job and her boss? This question is sometimes not that easy to answer, especially when it comes to such a perfectly attuned couple as Alfons Keilinger and Hannah Zorn - as far as professional matters are concerned. Alfons, the extremely charming boss of Betten Keilinger, can rely on the loyalty of his longtime secretary, the single Hannah: Tireless, dutiful, selfless, she is always at his side. Unfortunately, Alfons does not find this unwavering dedication in all of his employees. The only way he knows how to discipline the creative head of the company, the bed designer Paul, who is just as ingenious as he is a drinker, is to put the ambitious young designer Jette in front of him. This promptly leads to the easy-going Alfons falling in love with the young employee. As a matter of course, the boss asks his right hand Hannah to take care of his neglected wife Margot so that he can devote himself to his new love without any worries. Hannah - herself not immune to Alfons' charm - gets caught up in a whirlwind of events that threatens to overwhelm her, who is otherwise always up to date with what is happening. Suddenly she finds herself in the position of Margot's confidante, whose doubts about Alfons' loyalty she should talk her out of. Torn between affection for her boss and growing sympathy for Margot, loyal Hannah can only cry to her neighbor and favorite host, Carl Valentin. But it comes as it must: Alfons is caught red-handed and loses both his wife and his lover. And what's even worse - Hannah also flees from Alfons over the mountain.
