A hundred years, three women, and a dream - a dream of velvet and silk, of freedom and love. The roaring twenties, spectacular fashion collections, and Coco Chanel. Fanny has had enough of the outdated fashion in her family's empire and wants to make a name for herself as a fashion designer in Paris. In the end, she only finds success as a mannequin, and even that glittering dream bursts. In 1946, her daughter Lisbeth fights for survival in bombed-out Frankfurt and for her ancestors' fashion house. Resourcefully, she leads it into a new era, but pays a high price for it. By 1971, Rieke values love more than business. However, when the family company faces bankruptcy, she is confronted with a fateful decision.
