For the women of Schöllack, nothing stands still. Conflicts give way to reconciliations, old wounds reopen, and new paths forge. Monika focuses entirely on her daughter Dorli's dance career, but the mounting pressure leads to a rift between mother and daughter. Monika finds solace and inspiration in music and in her encounter with street musician Sharif. Teacher Robert Beck also gives her the courage to start a new relationship. Caterina officially stays out of it all, but she holds the reins and quietly influences events around the dance school.
