Das Glück ist ein Kaktus

They have been best friends since their school days: Edith and Hermione. Just after Hermine's 65th birthday, they embark on the biggest adventure of their lives. After Hermine finds out that her husband Klaus is cheating on her and Edith is supposed to visit a retirement home at her daughter's request, they pack their bags and flee to Mallorca. They want to open a restaurant there - without men and without problems. But then the finca they bought turns out to be dilapidated, the money runs out, a German exile courts the "prickly" Edith and conflicts of interest also arise between the friends.
