Erste Hilfe aus Berlin

88 mins

In order to finally be able to work in her job again, nurse Vera (Rebecca Immanuel) dares a new beginning: With all her children, she moves from Berlin to the Eifel. Already on the first day of work in Dr. Chris Wegner (Simon Schwarz) realizes that the country is anything but tranquil because of the shortage of doctors. A long list of home visits is already waiting for Vera, who nevertheless takes plenty of time for the new patients. So the experienced sister notices that something is wrong with Hannes Limburg's (Max Herbrechter) accident story. While she wants to know more about the bank manager, who looks strangely dejected, her boss points out the long queue in the anteroom. There is also a lot of air at home because son Paul (Tom Böttcher) has no desire for the provinces and mourns the hip Kreuzberg. To meet his mother, the angry teenager is even mean to baby Mia (Mascha Schrader). Now the stress-tested Vera is faced with a double challenge again: She has to assert herself in her job and save the peace of the family. Because of quiet country life. As the eponymous heroine, Rebecca Immanuel plays a care assistant who wants to be there for her patients with specialist knowledge and empathy - and who does not compromise on her professional self-image despite the time pressure. Comedy professional Simon Schwarz gives her boss, who is sitting in a wheelchair, and who initially accepts his Berlin reinforcement in an unfriendly manner. Together, the duo have to pass their first test and see if it even fits. Entertainingly, the series immerses you in country life and puts your finger in the wounds of the omnipresent problem of medical undersupply.
