- Some time has passed since the Teuffel family's last adventure in Krummenwalde. Sophie is now twelve years old, her brother Kai and sister Lisa are out of the house. It seems as if Beate, still the successful managing director of the local mineral spring, and Steffen finally have a little more time for each other - especially now that Steffen has actually completed his first volume of short stories and put it on the Internet for download: "Abendbrot - Ost -Views of a Westerner". But things never really get quiet in this family. This is only to a certain extent because the Brandenburg Ministry of the Interior wants to award Beate the country's great order of merit for running the "Quelle" and this date directly collides with her silver wedding - and Steffen absolutely wants to celebrate it in Rome. This has to be prevented in a subtle way. Things only really come to a head when Lisa and Kai suddenly find themselves standing on the mat in their parents' house. All of a sudden, Steffen's book develops so quickly into an euphoric bestseller on the Internet that a real publisher promptly wants to publish it. What the stunned successful author doesn't suspect: Behind the impressive download numbers are the computer-savvy daughter and the loving wife. Neither of them reveals to the writer, who is on cloud nine, that Lisa is pregnant and doesn't know how to deal with it. However, he also keeps a few secrets of his own. For example, there is the fact that son Kai gave up his studies a long time ago - in favor of a possibly not so lucrative future as a director of bloodthirsty B-movies. What makes matters worse is that all of the stories in Steffen's book come directly from real life in Krummenwald. Of all people, Petra Jänicke, the mayor's wife, has proven to be a less than discreet, almost inexhaustible source of gossip of the juiciest kind to Steffen. When Mayor Jänicke gets his hands on Steffen's manuscript and informs the village community about its contents, old wounds open up. The uproar is great: under no circumstances should the work be published. Outraged, the Krummenwalders turn away from the writing Wessi: both the award ceremony and the silver wedding anniversary celebrations are in danger of falling through. And then the only real reader of the Internet publication of "Abendbrot" shows up - a member of the Russian mafia who still has a score to settle.
