An idyllic family breakfast in the Tyrolean mountains – or so it seems. Behind the peaceful facade lies a family life full of tensions between closeness and distance, love and envy. A mother for whom harmony within the family is the most important thing, a father for whom tranquility is paramount, and two daughters who seemingly couldn't be any more different.

Giles meets Sally, the parson's daughter, who believes Giles to be the gardener. On a walk, they meet some gypsies, who show Sally a "magical ring."
