Overview
Shortly before Christmas, Dresden lawyer Julius Weimann is expecting his beloved daughter Julia. The 19-year-old has been in the USA for a year. When he picks her up from the plane with her godfather Harald Mauthe and takes her into his arms, he realizes that the "little polar bear" has become a young woman. To Julius' surprise, she has brought the man of her dreams with her from the States, whom she wants to marry at Christmas. Thomas Berner is an event manager from Dresden and fifteen years older than Julia! When Julia realizes that her father has hired a private detective to keep tabs on her fiancé, it causes a rift between father and daughter. With a heavy heart, Julius finally comes to accept his future son-in-law, and after clearing up a misunderstanding, the two men even become friends. But then Julia gets cold feet and breaks up with Thomas.
