action

Travel reporter Charly Stein actually wanted to go to Cape Town with her colleague Stefan to report on life in the slums. Instead, she goes to the village of St. Veith in Styria to look for her birth parents. Your editorial team had received advertising from Ehrenfels Castle there, on which a painting was depicted. The portrayed woman looks similar to Charly and since the castle is not far from the hospital where Charly was placed as a baby, she suspects a connection to her birth parents. At that time a hand puppet was found with her, which she is now taking with her to St. Veith.

On the way there, she made the acquaintance of Andreas Ehrenfels, the son of the lord of the castle, Max Thadäus Ehrenfels. Andreas is about to get engaged to his sandpit friend Vera Thul and is initially not very enthusiastic about the rebellious Charly. The pretends to want to shoot a report about the castle and the residents. They and Andreas get closer, which provokes Vera’s displeasure. However, she is grateful for the advertising for the castle and so, when visiting Graz, she also goes to Charly's boss to thank him for the planned report. So it turns out that Charly lied. Andreas confronts her and she lets him know that she is actually looking for her parents. Andreas wants to help her with the search and both bring the hand puppet, which represents a princess, to the toy maker Gustl. He thinks he has seen such a type of doll before, but cannot remember where.

Andreas reported to his father Max that Charly was looking for her parents. He had already noticed the resemblance of Charly to the woman in the portrait and he takes an old letter from a drawer in which the recipient is told that the writer is expecting a child. The sender is Ursula Thul, Vera's mother. Meanwhile, Vera has seen Charly's doll and associated it with her own from her childhood. She confronts her mother and Max also appears at Ursula's office for discussion. When Max is suspected by his wife of cheating once, he makes everything clear: Charly's father is not him, but his best friend Julian. He kept the letter as a memento because Julian fled when he heard the news that he would be a father and had a serious accident with his car in which he died.

Charly rushes back to Graz, especially since she is afraid of stealing the future husband of her half-sister Vera. Meanwhile, Vera has realized that her relationship with Andreas was mainly due to Ursula's commitment - she wanted her daughter to be secure in the relationship she never had. Vera separates from Andreas, with whom she wants to remain good friends, and goes to Charly to have a word with her. There is also a debate between Charly and Ursula and, in the end, there is a reconciliation between Charly and Andreas, who now become a couple.
