Years ago, Dr. Wilhelm Zarrmann left his German clinic to start one for penniless natives in a godforsaken part of South Africa. Knowing that his death is near, he writes to his daughter Johanna, who has had no contact but ran the German clinic with her fiancé Michael Kolle, who now also accompanies her and finds out he also tried to prevent companies moving in. Wilhelm dies just before they meet, but his right hand, adventurous pilot Thomas Marrach, is determined to make her stay long enough to care for and maybe take over the near-free clinic.
