During this time of upheaval, the young Flora, daughter of seed merchant Hannah Kerner, arrives in the city. A dream comes true for her as she is trained as a florist in the small family flower shop, Sonnenschein. With her freshness and warmth, she wins over the family, especially the son, Friedrich. Her ideas bring new life to the dusty business. Soon, she becomes Friedrich's wife and serves an elegant clientele, including European high nobility. However, success drives a wedge between the couple, and Flora begins to long for passionate love. She walks a fine line in pursuit of her personal happiness.
