Dramatic and magically nostalgic: best-selling author Anke Petersen whisks you off to the island of Föhr

 

Föhr around 1900: Paediatric nurse Anni Nissen cares devotedly for her small patients who have come to the island to convalesce. When her grandfather suddenly dies and Anni inherits his old farm, she has an idea: the large house close to Bieblum with its expansive garden and location close to the beach would be a wonderful place for a convalescence home. The residents of the village lend Anni a helping hand and at the same time, she falls in love with Martin, the new teacher who has moved to the island. But just when everything appears perfect, dark clouds draw over the young couple...
