As if transformed, Clemens Filzhofer returns from a holiday in Cuba that his children gave him for his seventieth birthday. The widower brought the reason for his new zest for life with him: spirited Esperanza. He tells his astonished family that they want to get married soon. No talk of retirement and old age - Clemens is starting his second spring. Son Peter and daughter Martina are not very enthusiastic about this. He finally wants to take over the company, she doesn't want to be almost the same age as her father's wife. Secretly, relatives and acquaintances had expected that he would lead Agnes, who had remained unmarried, in front of the altar. After all, the best friend of the deceased mother has long been part of the family. Although she is also close to Clemens' heart, he only has eyes for Esperanza. In record time, the shrewd doer sets the course for the dream wedding that his children want to prevent. They do not trust the bride's intentions and fear for the family property. While Clemens generously gives gifts, Esperanza thinks a lot about her own family, which previously lived on her income as a tour guide in Havana. While on the phone with someone in Cuba, granddaughter Sabrina overhears something that could fit her father's hunch. The teenager herself also has a secret that she hasn't been able to tell until now.
