Nie mehr allein
Samantha, the daughter of a single mother, has to go and live with her grandmother in the countryside because her mother is seriously ill in hospital. The grandmother uses the child as cheap labor in her guesthouse. Fortunately, there is also her clever grandfather, who knows how to outwit his strict grandmother. Samantha also meets Beni, who is spending his holidays with his grandmother in the same village. Beni befriends Samantha and, like her grandfather, brings some joy into her dreary everyday life. After a heated argument with her grandmother, Samantha runs away one day.
