Coastal flair, family turbulence and a grandma, who knows what to do in every situation

 

Single grandma Elise Krull is famous for her strawberry cake - but she doesn't have any willing customers in her family. One day, as she sits alone on the cake mountains, she unceremoniously invites Marten, who lives on a farm on the dyke in Otterndorf, for a slice. This is how she learns of the sprightly pensioner's loneliness and family problems.
Shortly afterwards, Elise's teenage grandson Tobias appears at the door with his girlfriend Ike and asks for asylum: he has had a terrible falling out with his parents. Marten also receives a call, as his 17-year-old granddaughter has run away from home - together with Tobias. Grandma Elise and Marten are on hand with their hearts and life experience and take matters into their own hands.
