Battering, breading, frying - Berta has prepared thousands of schnitzels in her old cast-iron pan over the years. This 83-year-old landlady's life on the family farm with adjoining guest house in the Oberpfalz has been marked by constant hard work. A life her granddaughters Monika and Hannah never wanted to lead. Now, the deeply indebted farm is on the brink of collapse. Monika, in her early thirties, decides to give up her modern life and save the family business. The two women join forces and give themselves a year to sort out the farm's problems. Director Hannah Schweier accompanies their endeavour.
