It has been four years and it is now 1945. Denmark is free once more. Amanda has become a single mother after a relationship with a man from Göteborg and is now returning, together with her little daughter, back to the hotel, which is pretty done in by having been occupied by German soldiers through the intervening years. Nonetheless, after five busy weeks, the doors can finally be opened to the regulars of the hotel, however, not everyone can put the period of occupation behind them. In the midst of it all Mrs Fejldsø arrives with her Swedish grandchild, the delightful 16-years old Sarah, who in the meantime has never been told that her real father is Edward Weyse.

When Sarah's Jewish grandparents are the victims of a serious felony, Weyse tries with some comforting words. However, Sarah demands action from the famous actor. Mr. and Mrs. Molin makes their entrance at the hotel with pockets filled with success and surplus capital. Nevertheless, Mr. Molin does not dare to tell his wife where the money comes from. Mrs. Weyse is tired of her husband's preoccupation with his daughter and invites Mrs. Frigh on an excursion with inherent surprises. That Lieutenant Kiessling didn't die on the Eastern Front is both a relief and a disappointment to Amanda. Because then why hasn't he answered her letters?
