Dreaming of Rita

When Bob's wife dies, he gets an urge to find Sabine, the Danish woman he had an affair with over thirty years ago. She resembled Rita Hayworth, the ''love goddess''. Bob also named his by now grown-up daughter Rita after Hayworth. Despite having suffered a heart attack, Bob runs away from the hospital and leaves for Denmark. Rita catches up with her father and leaves her difficult family behind to go south with him. Her husband Steff begins to panic, since he has been promised that he won't have to look after the children. Eventually he takes the kids and goes after Rita.
