Café Engel - Daughters of Hope (Vol.3)

The CAFÉ ENGEL series tells the thrilling story of a tradition-steeped café in the spa district of Wiesbaden, from the post-war years through the 1950s to the economic miracle of the 1960s. The café becomes the setting for a stirring family saga full of secrets and passions. Simultaneously, it represents hopes for a new beginning. CAFÉ ENGEL is exciting and at the same time wonderfully human and warm-hearted.

DAUGHTERS OF HOPE is the third part of the series and focuses on the 1960s.

Wiesbaden, 1959. Hilde Koch, the new manager at Café Engel, fights bravely against a competitor who is attracting increasing numbers of customers with dancing in the evening. And ever since making his dream of owning a vineyard come true, her husband, Jean-Jacques, has not been offering her great support.  

When the new pastry chef at the Café begins to seriously romance Hilde, her marriage is put to a tough test. Meanwhile, completely new horizons are opening up for Hilde’s brother, Wilhelm, as the booming film industry lures him with seductive offers.
