Verliebt in Valerie
Autistic Florian works as an assistant to facility manager Henk in a luxury hotel and is secretly in love with chambermaid Valerie. When it comes to communication, however, the smart guy has his problems, which is why he usually finds it difficult to deal with other people. Meanwhile, Valerie, who unlike Florian is extremely chaotic, pays little attention to her admirer and has other problems to deal with anyway: she is trying to regain custody of her daughter, but is in danger of losing her job as a result. Florian is immediately on hand to help her and is also actively supported by his boss. But can he really win Valerie's heart this way?
