Laubenpieper. Where real life rages

Allotment     Gardeners     Idyll     Neighbours     Foliage     Colony     Berlin

Their own garden with a pond, beautiful flowers, a shady spot and lots of relaxation. That's how Sabine and Robert imagined their garden dream. But life in the colony is not as carefree as it seems. Although Sabine now has her plot, disillusionment soon sets in with the often hard work, the unfamiliar neighbours and the gardening failures.
And there is also the young Yvonne from the neighbouring garden, who causes relationship stress. But life in the colony also offers new, exciting experiences: Debauched parties, a strange Turk, brilliant mole hunts and a Japanese Zen garden in the middle of the leafy colony. But is that enough? Can it replace a life completely without Robert's Sabine?
