The most successful career of a German singer abroad began in the summer of 1985 with "Maria Magdalena". Five million pieces of the epoch-making dancefloor anthem went over the counter worldwide and ensured that Sandra rose to superstardom. Then hit after hit followed until the birth of the twin sons Nikita and Sebastian in 1995. The baby break then interrupted the singer's success story for seven years before she returned to the limelight in 2002 with The Wheel Of Time and seamlessly continued the chart series.

He is accompanied by a young French journalist, Emma, who knows where his father has been living since he disappeared for more than a decade. The young lady is cooperative but might hide things from him...
