Henni enthusiastically gets off the Munich-Bari intercity bus in sunny Apulia. Her new assignment takes the globetrotting nanny to a German expat family with two teenage children. Rosa Westphal, who runs a picturesque olive farm with her husband Benno, has high hopes for the governess with the impressive credentials. However, it seems strange to Henni that the self-confident straight-A student Luisa and the musically gifted but sensitive Julian need supervision at all - especially as the family's finances are clearly in a bad way. Henni also wonders about a secret visit to the doctor by her client, which she happens to observe.

After his daughter persuades him to move into a new apartment, aged widower Fred strikes up a friendship with his eccentric 74-year-old neighbour Elsa, who convinces him it's never too late to keep enjoying life. Although he seemed resigned to a miserable bedridden existence, Fred embraces Elsa's youthful enthusiasm as she introduces him to the path of life and entertains him with outlandish stories about her past life. But when he discovers Elsa's terminally ill, Fred decides to accompany her on the trip of her dreams to the eternal city of Rome to help her fulfil a lifelong ambition.
