Ein Sommer in Barcelona
Having been brought up by a variety of different mothers, the young foreign language correspondent Lisa Hellmann now longs for a sense of family security in her adopted home of Barcelona.

But then Lisa's old-68 grandmother Ingeborg bursts into the ceremony and not only causes displeasure with her views, but also shakes Lisa's faith in the rightness of her actions.
