Physician Niklas Sanders's girlfriend Anna deserts him unexpectedly during a holiday on Mallorca. She's still not quite over her separation from Rolf. Niklas is visited by his daughter Susan, who planned a cycling tour with good friend Robby, but he prefers sailing with his buddy Pit. Niklas's initial mutual disgust for haughty real estate agent Kate is soon reconsidered by both. Then he discovers she's trying to evict him to pass the villa to her elderly mother, who meanwhile meets an old hotel-owner, as ignorant of Spanish as she is.
