The German Nanny Henriette Höffner is employed on a farm in South Africa to take care of 16-year-old Anton and his younger brother Linus. The pubescent boys were originally supposed to be looked after by their grandfather, the gamekeeper Konrad during the absence of their parents, but he has no desire or interest in his two grandchildren. However, when he suffers back pain, the Nanny takes over the animal feeding with the boys.
