- Since her husband's death, Gundula Glöckner has only lived for her work as a church geriatric nurse--and for her two children Michel and Lena. The supermother always wants the best for her offspring, which is why she can no longer see Lena falling for the wrong men over and over again. She decides to put in a good word for her daughter's happiness in love at the highest point and signs up for a pilgrimage to Padua. At the grave of St. Anthony, she wants to ask for a decent husband for her daughter. With this goal she is in good company, because the tour was designed by Pastor Schrotmann especially for Catholic singles, inviting participants to use the spiritual power of the sacred to find what they have lost: love. The grumpy bus driver Benno has mostly ridicule for his pilgrim passengers, but the small group of illustrious Lonely Hearts doesn't let that spoil their mood. Lively "Jumbo", for example, tries to flirt with Gundula before he starts his trip, which she deliberately ignores. 15-year-old Michel feels drawn to Violetta, who is as beautiful as she is spiritually-minded. And while professional soldier Werner seems to find his Catholic dream women in his widow friends Rosi and Doro, single parent Margitta wants to take a few days' vacation from her pubescent children. As if fate wanted to play a trick on the happy pilgrims, the journey to Italy is interrupted again and again by mishaps and other complications. As if that weren't enough, Benno especially offends Gundula with his gruff manner. But as much as he gets on her nerves, she is strangely drawn to him. She also finally finds out why Benno hides his feelings behind a protective wall of anger and sarcasm. Sometimes fate leads one to happiness in a roundabout way. This is the experience of the heroine of the cryptic love comedy "Pilgrimage to Padua". The godly geriatric nurse goes to Italy to pray for her daughter--and unexpectedly meets a man herself who gives her life a new impetus. Gisela Schneeberger plays this woman with an inimitable mixture of spirited determination and kind hearted sensitivity. In Herbert Knaup as the grumpy bus driver she finds the perfect counterpart--and together the two form a wonderfully unequal dream couple. Also on pilgrimage: Bernhard Schütz, Petra Kleinert, and Sybille J. Schedwill.
- A chronicle of the lives of the inhabitants of the Bavarian village Sachrang during the years of the Napoleonic wars (1791-1814). The main character is Peter Müllner, who has been away to the big city of Munich to study there, and who is seen as a rebel and reformer when he returns to the village. Not all of the villagers see eye to eye with him and his modern ideas.
- The mystical reverence Germans feel for their forests, a theme popularized in Nazi era filmmaking, is dramatized.
- Actually, Pastor Jens Steffensen is a die-hard northern light. At the request of his old student friend Clemens Stölzer, however, he breaks down his tents in St. Pauli and takes over a small parish deep in the south. When Jens first arrives in picturesque Fischbach, he experiences a culture shock. He also almost runs over Sophie Strohmayr's cat, causing her anger. To make up for his mistake, he offers Sophie, who has just lost her job at the local dairy, the job of housekeeper in the rectory. Sophie has quit the church, but after a short hesitation accepts the offer. She quickly realizes that the progressive priest is bringing movement to the sleepy Bavarian village with his refreshing manner. Sophie's friend Inge also notices this, who also moves into the rectory after a falling out with her jealous husband, the dairy owner Johann Schüssler. When Schüssler, frustrated by the failed marriage, closes his troubled business and retires to a mountain hut, a disaster looms. In order to save her friend's marriage and to save the village from looming unemployment, the divine Sophie has to come up with something. Thanks to their heavenly marketing idea, the dairy is actually experiencing a phenomenal boom. However, when the cardinal learns that the Ten Commandments are being marketed on yogurt cups with Jens Steffensen's blessing, he pays a visit to the new pastor from Waterkant and his incredulous housekeeper.
- A small baby can sometimes cause major complications - especially if the parents are nowhere to be found. Parish priest Jens Steffensen is faced with this problem when a desperate young woman leaves a newborn baby in the church after confession. He would ideally like to hand the child over to the youth welfare office immediately, because the servant of God is familiar with baptizing the little ones, but he has not yet had any experience in changing diapers and feeding them. But he did the math without his smart housekeeper Sophie. She immediately takes the baby into her heart and persuades Steffensen with the tongue of an angel to look for the poor mother on her own. Sophie is convinced that the woman has long since regretted her decision. Unfortunately, the new roommate doesn't stay a secret for long. After just a few days, the tabloids reported on the front pages about the priest, his housekeeper and the mysterious "parsonage baby". The Episcopal Ordinariate is following the events in Fischbach with great concern. The last thing the church needs is negative headlines. Steffensen's former brother Clemens Stölzer is supposed to get the matter under control on behalf of the bishop - and quickly. However, this doesn't turn out to be easy, because even the grumpy northern light Steffensen is now completely infatuated with his protégé. When the youth welfare office gets involved at Stölzer's instigation, Sophie and the priest have to put their foot down and find the mother before the foundling ends up in the home. While the two of them discover a hot lead in a posh golf hotel thanks to their detective instinct, several men in Fischbach are sweating hard as they search for the child's origins.
