Ein Sommer in Griechenland
45-year-old Rieke Bauer wants to work for the travel company run by her family. Because she can drive and has no problems with longer routes, she is hired as a bus driver. She manages to get all the passengers to Athens unharmed on the first trip, but then disaster strikes: one day after arriving, she discovers that the bus has been stolen. That wouldn't be so bad if Rieke had parked the vehicle in the guarded parking lot and the insurance would cover the loss. However, she has parked directly in front of the hotel and therefore forfeited her right to compensation. In this awkward situation, the Greek Yannis stands by her side - and the driver urgently needs help, because her sister and an insurance agent soon turn up...
