German artist Kurt Barnert has escaped East Germany and now lives in West Germany, but is tormented by his childhood under the Nazis and the GDR regime.
Jens Lehnert sends his grumpy consultancy partner and key employee Carla Schneider to audit the old-fashioned mint farming of a collective in Saxony. In an attempt to coax a probably negative report, unwitting the assessor is female, she's lodged with its director Simon Vorberg and his charming family, but it alas starts on a frightening tone. Gradually, she's charmed by the village and especially the Vorbergs, alas unlike the enterprise, yet is inspired by the inventive villagers' fair stalls.
A two-part television film by UFA Fernsehproduktion about Jutta Gallus, who peaceful protested against the SED dictatorship in the GDR.
