A golf equipment company owner has meticulously planned his daughter’s future, but has done the maths without her.

Sandra Harrison is the only daughter and heir to a long-established family business producing golf equipment. She has finished her studies of medicine and she travels with her boyfriend Albert to the family house to celebrate the 60 birthday of her father Walter. Her father, Walter, is convinced that she has been studying business administration for years in order to take over the management of the company one day. However, with her medical degree in hand, she comes to Cornwall to introduce her boyfriend, Albert, who is also a doctor, to her parents. But Walter has not only planned his daughter’s professional future, but he has also already chosen a son-in-law: Brian, the nephew of a business friend and Sandra’s childhood sweetheart.

Walter’s plans seem to be working. When Sandra and Brian meet at the birthday party, old feelings resurface. Sandra’s mother, Deborah, is concerned, suspecting that Brian’s feelings are completely unromantic and that he is pursuing purely financial interests. Albert is frustrated and briefly turns to Rachel, Sandra’s widowed sister-in-law. To make matters worse, Walter suffers a heart attack – shortly after Sandra tells him that she has studied medicine…

The Rosamunde Pilcher TV film series, based on the works of the British author, became a significant phenomenon, particularly in Germany, due to its popularity, consistent production, and charming adaptations.
