“Camping for Beginners” (Ep1) Jantje is a nurse in Hamburg. Her work-life balance hasn’t been right for a while. Her family runs routinely, but her job robs her of all her energy, so she has somehow lost herself. The “Malibu” campground on Lake Plön, which her husband Stefan unexpectedly inherits, gives her hope again. Admittedly, the campsite has already seen its best days and is not quite what she had imagined. The alternative lifestyle that Jantje embarks on brings to light desires, secrets and dreams that she herself didn’t know she had. Can her husband keep up with this new Jantje? (ZDF)
“A Tent for Three” (Ep2) Jantje and Stefan have decided to take over the ailing campsite “Malibu”. Ex-nurse Jantje is sure: The idyllic camping site “Malibu” in Holstein Switzerland is the key to her new life. With all her strength, she wants to make the ailing site fit for the future in harmony with nature. If only her husband Stefan were by her side. Because the whole family is having a hard time with the long-distance relationship. Jantje invests in the “Malibüdchen,” a small store that is supposed to bring in money. Unfortunately, the fact that the building permit for the project had long since expired had escaped her in Martin’s note bequest. Jacob Bernstein, of all people, who admires Jantje for her commitment, has to tell her that she will have to tear everything down again.
“Sister Hearts” (Ep3) Jantje and Stefan want to make “Malibu” the best campsite in Germany. When Jantje’s sister, management consultant Merle, comes to visit, the perfect help seems to have been found.
“Kiss the Frog” (Ep4) The expansion of “Malibu” is not under a good star: A biology teacher who is a guest at the campsite finds an endangered species of toad in the bank reeds. She sets heaven and hell into motion to protect the toad’s habitat, while finding something else, she has never expected to find.
