It's not usually easy to upset the self-confident Munich wine merchant Sonja Franke. But when she catches her husband Heiner in flagrante delicto with his lover, Sonja's composure is over: she gets into her car and speeds away at excessive speed. The desperate woman is promptly stopped by the police, destroying Sonja's entire wine purchase. Since she is really not in the mood to explain the situation to the officers, she ends up in front of the traffic court. The strict judge Alain Mayer presides there. Since Sonja is by no means reasonable, he revokes the impulsive defendant's driver's license for a month. And so Sonja now has to travel to Würzburg by train to buy new goods. Judge Mayer also made his way to Würzburg by train, where he was to give an important lecture at a legal congress. As fate would have it, the two meet - and soon get into trouble. Because suddenly a fallen tree blocks the railway tracks, the train has to stop for an indefinite period of time. So the two get off in the middle of the route and head towards Würzburg on their own. For Sonja and Alain, the onward journey becomes a true odyssey, during which his compliance with the law is put to the test. But even the righteous Alain can turn a blind eye from time to time, for example when Sonja "borrows" an old, apparently ownerless moped in order to be able to continue the journey. Despite or because of these turbulent events, the unlikely couple grows ever closer; the two fall in love. There are also signs of a positive turn for Sonja's wine trade, because she accidentally meets Alain's son Robert and learns that Alain comes from a renowned Alsatian winegrowing family. Robert, who, unlike his father, continues the "wine tradition" of the family, becomes Sonja's business partner and, so to speak, the savior of her business, which was in trouble after the loss of the wine load. Alain now believes that Sonja only "approached" him out of opportunism. When her husband Heiner publishes an unflattering article about "Richter merciless", Alain realizes that Sonja is playing the wrong game with him. As if all that wasn't trouble enough, Sonja also received a complaint about the "borrowed" moped. And Alain, of all people, is chairing the process.
