Rose d'Or Winner 2006: Best Soap & Best Soap Actress Alexandra Neldel

German Television Award 2005 for "Best Daily Series"

The young Lisa is hardly every boy’s dream girl. Being a bit overweight, there are a zillion girls around more attractive than she.

That’s why being around the other sexy girls in a bathing suit is something that Lisa avoids at all costs. Today, however, a famous fashion company, Kerima Moda, has scheduled a photo shoot at the local public swimming pool.

When Lisa’s eyes land on David, a junior executive with the company, it’s love at first sight.

Then, as fate would have it, Lisa happens to be the one to save David when he almost drowns in the pool. After the incident, they get along well, and she becomes David’s assistant.

It’s a difficult job, though, because everyone on the staff sees the slightly plump Lisa as being completely unsuitable for a fashion company…

The continual intrigue, mockery and rejection hit Lisa hard, but she takes on the challenge. With her honest ambition, she steadily moves up through the ranks…and one day even David will notice the beautiful swan she’s become…
