What Now, Tina?
Tina thinks positive! Never give in, never give up. If you don’t make it, you don’t want it. That’s simply who she is. Tina lives for her three children – at least since she kicked her husband out. Now they are on their own. And now, of all times, her boss, the baker, gives her notice. No, Tina is not a baker. Tina is mobile. A saleswoman. With her mobile bakery, she went to all the small villages north of Berlin that don‘t have a bakery or grocery store. Tina unemployed? No. Not her thing. Tina goes into business for herself. Tina has a plan for each of her three brats, a master plan, so to speak. The only thing that always gets in the way is life... but one thing is for sure: Tina refuses to give up!
