Against all odds, Mimi Reventlow becomes a photographer and finds not only her freedom but also love. Mimi Reventlow has always been different from the women of her time. It is the year 1911, and while other women take care of family and household, Mimi has made her big dream come true. As a photographer, she travels the entire country and loves to bring beauty to people through her photographs, just like her uncle Josef, who is her great role model. When he falls ill, she moves to the small linen-weaving village of Laichingen to care for him and temporarily take over his photo studio. For his sake, she not only gives up her independence but also faces the suspicious gazes of the villagers in Laichingen, as her free spirit clashes with their expectations more than once. And when a man soon makes Mimi's heart race, she must make a decision.
