St. Josef am Berg - Stürmische Zeiten
Svea and Peter are now parents of a daughter. Svea was elected mayor of the neighboring community of Klamm and, as such, fights for the interests of the mountain farmers. With Munich-based conservation expert Martin Gollan and her assistant Igor, Svea develops an alternative concept for the national park. Joseph, however, ensures that Peter, as chief veterinarian, stabs her in the back at a hearing. Peter has had enough; he's tired of being manipulated by his father again and is ready to return to Stralsund with his daughter Josefine and Svea.
