There are more and more arguments between her and Mathias, which is mainly due to the considerable stacks of unpaid bills and very last reminders. To make matters worse, the children's home where Rita works is also supposed to be closed. And what does Mathias do? Buys pigeon feed by the sack. Rita has had enough. From now on: the pigeons or me. But does Mathias really have the heart to part with his loved ones? Rescue is coming in the form of Ronny Kowallek, of all people, the tormentor of bygone childhood days. He has it in his head to win the largest pigeon race in the world, in South Africa. Prize money: one million dollars.

After surviving initial difficulties, Dani, Mathias and Ronny finally set off for South Africa - but the million-euro race still has a lot of surprises in store.
