Following his uncle's death, Peter arrives for the will reading of Bockelmann Sparkling Wine, a Rhine-based winery. Justus Bockelmann, a mineral water producer, is certain he will take over the business, yet he adamantly refuses to engage in the 'immoral' alcohol industry. The actual contents of the will shock all the heirs present, leading to unexpected twists and challenges as they grapple with their potential inheritance. Tensions run high as differing values clash within the family, revealing deeper truths about ambition and morality.
