Eine Robbe zum Verlieben (2006)

Thomas Krugmann is a caring father who has been looking after his two children Moritz and Nele alone since the tragic death of his wife. The sympathetic veterinarian has found a new partner in the elegant Sabine - but Moritz and Nele, who have not yet gotten over the death of their mother, simply cannot cope with the new woman at their father's side. Therefore, a holiday together on the Baltic Sea should improve the relationship between the children and Sabine. However, the holidays take an unexpected turn right at the beginning, because due to a failed booking, the unequal quartet finds itself without accommodation at the holiday destination. Rescue is approaching in the form of the charming fisherwoman Anne, who quickly accommodates Thomas, Sabine and the children in the small pension of their old friend Piet. Despite the idyllic surroundings, there is no exuberant holiday mood - no matter how hard Sabine tries, she just can't get close to Nele and Moritz. Quite different is the relaxed Anne: with her and her eccentric and amusing pet, the tame seal William, the kids immediately feel at home. Thomas also seeks to be close to the stubborn fisherwoman. Through her he seems to find that light-heartedness that can finally get him over the loss of his wife. In the meantime, things are starting to spark between Piet and Sabine: the laid-back outdoorsman is courting the chic townswoman in a touchingly timid manner. But although Thomas and Anne, like Sabine and Piet, feel that they feel more for each other than just friendship, none of them dares to take the decisive step. At the traditional village ball, the knot finally seems to burst - until the insecure Anne, afraid of disappointment, pulls out at the last moment. But Thomas won't be put off that easily.
