action

Julie Berg, chaotic, bon vivant, divorced, moved five times since her divorce, and after her Berlin chocolate business went bankrupt, moved with her two children Heinrich and Freya to Augsburg to her uncle Theo and his divination partner Trudi. To earn money, Julie joins Theo's ailing private detective agency. Her first job is in a department store, where she meets the kleptomaniac Bettina on her first day. Because Julie doesn't report Bettina but lets her go, Julie immediately loses her job in the department store. Bettina hires Julie to watch her husband because she fears that her husband is being unfaithful. Julie discovers that the problem lies elsewhere. Bettina was given up for adoption as a child and she's been suffering all her life from not knowing her mother. Bettina's husband and her daughter suffer from this.

criticism

Rainer Tittelbach said that Döhnert missed the heroine played by Bettina Zimmermann “in this family story rich in projections, clever, only slightly exaggerated everyday dialogues”. The “contemporary family film” flows “smoothly through the most varied of pitches”. TV Spielfilm judged, apart from "a few clumsy gossip", the film tells "charmingly and entertainingly about the search for belonging, security and the joy of life [...] despite crises".
