Marilyn Meier (Bettina Stucky) is having a hard time. Her hair salon lacks customers and Adrian Bruppacher (Max Rüdlinger), head of the local council and Marilyn's lover, has been promising to get divorced from his wife for the past two years without doing anything about it.
Instead, Marilyn's employee, Hans Georg (Stefan Kurt), proposes to her out of the blue: he would like to work with Marilyn to turn the business around. But a life full of everyday hairstyles somehow doesn't seem like a particularly thrilling prospect either.
Occasionally, unhappiness drives Marilyn to drink. Adrian's birthday, which he celebrates with his family in the village pub, is just such an occasion. Marilyn, unsolicited, sings a heartfelt serenade for her lover. Adrian is embarrassed, but his brother-in-law, the music producer Chaspar Senn, is thrilled.
The Turkish waiter Halil (Pablo Aguilar) has noticed Marilyn's voice as well. Much to Adrian's dismay the two start rehearsing together. Their aim is to appear on the famous pop show «Music with Heart».
