Desc: Die großen und die kleinen Wünsche - David gegen Goliath: Directed by Ilse Hofmann. With Gaby Dohm, Günther Maria Halmer, Nina Weniger, Oliver Broumis. The small Berlin shipping company Wünsche is a real family business: Together with her daughter Claudia and her husband Mario, Astrid Wünsche has been offering sightseeing tours through the canals of the capital for many years. Astrid's divorced husband Uwe, with whom she still gets on well despite a painful separation, takes care of the on-board catering and runs a small gourmet restaurant on one of the landing stages. The desires do not yet suspect that dark clouds are brewing over their little idyll: A major American shipping company is pushing into the Berlin market, and top manager Albert Marquard is right with any means to secure a supremacy for the group. With "donations" and "favors" he attracts politicians and committees to his side. Marquard is particularly interested in the route that Astrid covers with her excursion boat. He takes part in one of her tours incognito - and immediately takes a liking to the charming and confident shipowner. Suddenly the tough manager shows himself from an unusually sensitive side: He courted Astrid according to all the rules of the art, surprises her with invitations and carries them out elegantly. Mario alone is suspicious of the urbane Albert. Rightly so, as it soon turns out, because despite his personal affection for Astrid, Marquard threatens to mercilessly force the shipping company Wünsche out of business. When Astrid finds out who her new admirer really is, she turns away from him, disappointed. Determined not to let herself get down, she declares war on the mighty competition. And while Astrid is already hatching a clever plan with her family, Albert has to decide whether he wants to follow his heart or the business interests of his group.
