Everything is fine the way it is. And then it gets even better. Because completely surprisingly, Hanna is promoted to second managing director by junior boss Bernd Möller. A recognition that Hanna would never have dreamed of. And Martin is overjoyed, too, as he now sees the necessary funds for the development of his passion project, a revolutionary fuel cell, within reach with Hanna's support. Of course not all that glitters is gold. Because what Hanna didn't know, the traditional shipyard is on the verge of bankruptcy.
