Plot: Berlin photographer Julia Sandberg has fallen in love with the charming adventurer Percy van der Walt, who has an extremely unusual job. Percy is diving for diamonds off the coast of the South African port town of Port Sheldon. Julia wants to record this exciting work, in which he penetrates to the bottom of the sea every day at great risk, in a photo book for which she has already found a publisher. But no sooner has she followed the man of her life than Percy shows a completely different side of himself: he is uncharming, selfish and at times treats her like air. He also refuses to take Julia on his boat to take photos of the diamond divers' work. Apparently, Julia was wrong about Percy - and now she is also under deadline pressure. Using angelic tongues, she persuades Hannes, who was initially a bit surly, to let him accompany him. There is a strong spark between the two - but when Percy sees her with Hannes, an ugly argument ensues. After Julia had to find out in such a drastic way that Percy and Hannes are enemy half-brothers who also fight each other professionally, their emotional chaos is perfect. The situation comes to a head when Percy is trapped by a boulder while diving and only Hannes can save the hated brother. Julia's need for adventure is covered for the time being, she just wants to leave - but Hannes' father Otto, who is not entirely innocent of the quarrel between his two sons, opens her eyes.—ARD Das Erste
