Harte Brötchen (2002)
Christa and Theo Zerrback have been running a small kiosk in the Ruhr area for many years - with moderate success. Although Theo often argues with Christa, he is extremely popular in the neighborhood. Not least because he gives his buddies generous credit. Shortly after betting the kiosk's earnings on a horse race, Theo dies unexpectedly of a heart attack. Christa has to run the indebted business on her own, but neither her mother Hanna nor her two daughters Dany and Sonja are much help. The only ray of hope is the teacher and pigeon fancier Jörg Erdmann, with whom Christa falls in love. And Theo also comes to her aid: as an angel who intervenes in her life via a TV screen.
