Film 3: “Love of horses”

At the Naumburg veterinary practice, consultations usually take place in order. But when a horse suddenly appears in the garden, Dr Maja Freydank (Bettina Zimmermann) and Julia Kramer (Meriel Hinsching) interrupt their usual routine: something is wrong with the animal, which is clearly a highly trained racehorse! Although the doctors identify the horse farm operator Karsten Hofmann (Leopold Hornung) as the owner and return ‘Icarus’ there, they still feel responsible for the injured champion. Their colleague Dr Sebastian Pfeifer (Max von Pufendorf), head of the Sanaripets veterinary clinic, wants to quickly get the animal fit for a prestigious tournament through surgery. The ambitious young jockey Selma (Hannah Gharib) wants to finally make her breakthrough with Icarus, and Hofmann has invested a lot of money in this. However, Maja wants to prevent the risky but lucrative operation from taking place. The fact that the idealistic doctor thinks first about animal welfare and then about business is causing her practice to slip into the red. Her young colleague Julia also has worries. She is burdened by a secret that she does not want to confide in her boss. However, Maja senses that something is troubling Julia…

Film 4: „Family“ (WT)
When 13-year-old Jannik Siebold (Felix Nölle) shows up at the Freydank & Kramer practice with his rabbit Thea, it initially seems that the pet is suffering from a harmless loss of appetite. However, Dr. Maja Freydank discovers that there is much more to the visit than meets the eye: Thea needs an operation – and Jannik needs someone who will really listen to him. The sensitive boy, who is mourning his deceased mother, is angry with his father Marvin (Timur Isik) and his new girlfriend Susanne Grau (Lucie Heinze). He even suspects his bonus sister Flora (Cara Vondey) of being behind Thea’s illness! To help everyone, the experienced vet shows her qualities as a psychologist and therapist. As the owner of the practice, she also faces a challenge. Her young colleague Julia Kramer is struggling with a difficult decision: in order to support her paraplegic brother Leo (Matti Schmidt-Schaller) and leave her financial worries behind, she is considering a lucrative job change. If Maja wants to keep her beloved colleague, she will have to find the best solution here too…
