Luises Versprechen

SADRžAJ

Luise was there for her husband and their two children her whole life. In the meantime, however, daughter Charlotte and son Daniel have long since grown up and are able to stand on their own two feet. And since the death of her beloved husband, Luise has been living alone with her faithful housekeeper Rita in the elegant Hamburg villa. In the meantime, not the slightest thing has changed in Luise's strict solicitude. With the dominance of a woman who has always known exactly what she wants, she tries to interfere in her offspring's life plans. Above all, the unmarried Daniel worries her. The good-looking man in his mid-thirties is adored by women, but doesn't want to get involved in a permanent relationship. In Luise's opinion one cannot live happily like that. So she does everything in her power to find a (wife) wife for her unruly darling. With Charlotte, however, it is exactly the opposite: she is married, but unfortunately with the wrong person. In the meantime, Luise tries to suppress her own problems: Despite recurring dizzy spells, she keeps putting off a long-overdue examination. The fear of a bad result is too deep in the former cancer patient. When she finally makes an appointment with her doctor, to her great surprise, she meets his representative, Dr. Ellen Burscheid - a welcome excuse for Luise to turn around without being examined. But the sensitive Ellen is also a woman who knows how to achieve her goals. And so Luise returns after initial rejection, has the necessary examinations carried out - and immediately considers the attractive doctor as a potential wife for Daniel. At first he is anything but enthusiastic about Ellen, as he suspects - wrongly - that she does not treat his mother with the appropriate care. Thanks to Luise's active "mediation", not only does the sympathy between the two grow - it even seems to be working. The test results are a severe blow for Luise: the cancer is back. However, she does not want to go through the tormenting strains of lengthy chemotherapy She decides to let fate take its course.
