Lynette (Ulrike Folkerts, center) wants to leave the family business to her sons Robin (Patrick Mölleken, 2nd from left) and Patrick (Max Hemmersdorfer, right). Their daughters-in-law Kim (Paula Schramm) and Marisa (Maja-Céline Probst) are less than enthusiastic. And now Patrick is also asking for Marisa's hand in marriage...

After some initial reservations, Kim (Paula Schramm) wants to support her husband Patrick (Max Hemmersdorfer) and stay in Cornwall with him.

Despite their different views on science and "quackery", Lynette (Ulrike Folkerts) and Raymond (Dirk Martens) grow closer.

That's what the movie is about

After the death of her husband, Lynette Dawson (Ulrike Folkerts) wants to honor his last wish and set up a foundation. To do this, however, she must hand over the management of the family business for natural remedies to her sons Patrick (Max Hemmersdorfer) and Robin (Patrick Mölleken). It could all be so easy if it weren't for the lovely daughters-in-law. Patrick's wife Kim (Paula Schramm) is reluctant to give up her career in London. And journalist Marisa (Maja-Céline Probst) even breaks off her engagement to Robin because of Lynette's paternalism. And then there's Raymond Murphy (Dirk Martens), who accuses Lynette of driving her family apart. Will he be right?

150 film adaptations against a picturesque backdrop

On Sunday, May 26, 2019, we will once again be whisked away to the picturesque Cornish coast. ZDF Heart Cinema will be showing "Daughters-in-law" at 8.15 pm, the 150th film adaptation of a novel by Rosamunde Pilcher. In 1993, "Rosamunde Pilcher: Stormy Encounters" was the first film based on a book by the author. Since then, over 100 stories have been filmed at the romantic location in southern England. Fun fact: Prince Charles himself has already thanked the author, the production company and the broadcaster for boosting tourism in the south of England by filming against a picturesque backdrop.
