Aller Anfang ist schwer

"Agreeing with the imperfect makes life easier," says Anna. And some things are imperfect when she suddenly finds herself without a job in her early 60s. After all, the spirited hobby gardener now has more time for her granddaughter Nele and her volunteer work in telephone counseling.In order to make ends meet financially, Anna advertises the former nursery of her single daughter Karin for sublet. Mr. Kurtz, formerly head of the Cologne South Public Order Office and his own family, are tired of the ad. The odd retiree turns out to be a technocrat from the head to the sentence structure. When Anna believes that an anonymous caller is in mortal danger at the telephone counseling service, this time she decides to override all rules: Somehow she has to find the desperate student. Mr. Kurtz could help her with his relations with the office if that weren't contrary to his nature. With her special charm, however, Anna succeeds in luring the hyper-correct ex-official out of the reserve .
