Lilly Schönauer - Heimkehr ins Glück
Munich cardiologist Katja is happy – in two weeks she's marrying wealthy management consultant Richard, and she's about to be promoted at the hospital. But things turn out differently: It's not her who becomes head of the cardiology department, but a competitor. And Richard doesn't react to this rejection as empathetically as the disappointed doctor would like.
