Apple has her hippie mother Ingrid to thank for her silly name along with a few neuroses, and a love of ironed blouses. Apple does not ever want her life to be as chaotic as it was in the summer of 1976, when Apple's mother met Karl in Spain. Ingrid, the beach queen of Torremolinos, and Karl, a married bank employee, fell head over heels in love with one another – an affair which had unimaginable consequences. Thirty years later a grown-up Apple is stumbling from one love-life disaster to the next. Meanwhile her best friend Susi is looking for a holiday house in Spain. And Ingrid, now over sixty years old but still with the same rebellious free spirit, is going back to the scene of that disastrous summer love. They are all searching for the sunny side of life. But can you really book yourself some happiness just like a holiday, all inclusive?
