A young woman has the idea of setting up her boyfriend with a very wealthy but sickly lady to claim her inheritance.

Eifel landlady Toni Janssen has the blues. The unexpected single life is just as depressing as the decline of the "Kupferkanne" without the cooking skills of her "ex". The otherwise tough restaurant owner would prefer to crawl under the comforter all day! But giving up is out of the question for her mother Heidi. The fact that the Janssen women have been making it on their own for generations is their motto in life anyway. The best example: Heidi's newly opened guesthouse, which is often fully booked! It's not just business success that has a rejuvenating effect on the optimistic woman in her mid-fifties. Ron, the gardener hired by the investment-happy business founder, surprises her with his charming advances. What Heidi initially finds hard to believe soon sends her into a frenzy of love.

Eifel landlady Toni Janssen and her mother Heidi are once again running the Kupferkanne as a team of two. While Heidi's guesthouse is running at full speed, Toni wants to shift down a few gears at her newly renovated country inn. The new name "Kupferkännchen" is intended to stand for a less ambitious concept: home-style cooking for pub guests. However, their new chef Sebastian Holtmann brings the highest culinary standards with him. Not only does he have a lot up his sleeve, but he is also extremely self-confident. Toni is amazed that Sebastian would like to reopen under his own name.
