Berlin 1977: The apartment above the dance school now offers space for three generations: sisters Monika (Sonja Gerhardt) and Helga (Maria Ehrich), their almost grown-up daughters Dorli (Carlotta Bähre) and Friederike (Marie Louise Albertine Becker) as well as mother and grandmother Caterina (Claudia Michelsen). Only Eva (Emilia Schüle), the third sister, is initially “abroad”, as her prison stay is described, for a longer period of time. But her release is approaching and Eva begins to plan her future in the art trade. Monika trains her daughter Dorli, who is a talented ballroom dancer and has a great future ahead of her. But the pressure to perform becomes increasingly difficult for Dorli and she slowly slips into the drug scene. Monika herself rediscovers her love of music through street musician Sharif (Aziz Dyab) and her encounter with Friederike’s teacher Robert Beck (Sabin Tambrea) opens a new chapter in her relationship with men. Mother Caterina claims to no longer interfere, but she is the eminence grise of the family and dance school, even though Helga officially runs the business. When the dance school is threatened with foreclosure, Caterina sees her life’s work in danger. Helga has inwardly given up on love after Wolfgang (August Wittgenstein) leaves for the East. But then she meets Hannes (Florian Stetter), a dentist from Dahlem. Daughter Friederike eyes the new love with skepticism and Hannes soon shows his dark side. The family events are accompanied by the young journalist Linda Müller (Massiamy Diaby), who is filming a documentary about the traditional Galant company for a TV station – although she is also pursuing a very personal agenda.
