A magical farm, a new generation bridging tradition and modernity.

Altenburg, 1945: The traces of war have left their mark not only on the small Eifel village but also on the Fuchs family. Now, it is time to look forward. Johanna's daughters, Klara and Mia, have grown into young women. The sisters are inseparable yet as different as night and day: while the younger Mia, with her dark brown hair, captures all the attention and charms people with her carefree nature, Klara has inherited her mother's red-blond hair, is thoughtful, and introspective. Only when she sings, all shyness melts away, her bell-like voice enchants anyone who listens. When Czech refugee Pavel seeks shelter on the farm, the sisters' lives take an unexpected turn. The singer not only captivates both women but also encourages Klara to move to Cologne and study singing. However, Klara feels deeply rooted in her homeland, destined to take over the farm one day. The sisters must decide whether to follow the call of their hearts; whether to stay – or leave the "House of the Vixen".

"Brigitte Riebe writes good classical entertainment literature; there is a lot happening in her novels, and a fateful twist awaits at every corner." Die Zeit
