At the request of his old student friend Clemens Stölzer, however, he breaks down his tents in St. Pauli and takes over a small parish deep in the south. When Jens first arrives in picturesque Fischbach, he experiences a culture shock. He also almost runs over Sophie Strohmayr's cat, causing her anger. To make up for his mistake, he offers Sophie, who has just lost her job at the local dairy, the job of housekeeper in the rectory. Sophie has quit the church, but after a short hesitation accepts the offer. She quickly realizes that the progressive priest is bringing movement to the sleepy Bavarian village with his refreshing manner. Sophie's friend Inge also notices this, who also moves into the rectory after a falling out with her jealous husband, the dairy owner Johann Schüssler. When Schüssler, frustrated by the failed marriage, closes his troubled business and retires to a mountain hut, a disaster looms. In order to save her friend's marriage and to save the village from looming unemployment, the divine Sophie has to come up with something.

However, when the cardinal learns that the Ten Commandments are being marketed on yogurt cups with Jens Steffensen's blessing, he pays a visit to the new pastor from Waterkant and his incredulous housekeeper.See less
