Rosamunde Pilcher: Die Glücksbringerin

In their small town, everyone believes that meeting chimney sweep Clare Ridley brings good luck—her friend Ashley, in particular, is convinced of this. Clare does indeed bring good luck when she pulls architect Josh Harding—with whom Clare had secretly been in love before he moved to New York—off the street just in the nick of time. He has now returned to help his widowed aunt Jessica. He asks Clare’s father, Daniel, who runs a small chimney and heating company, for his professional expertise regarding his aunt’s historic home. Clare has little desire to see Josh again, but her father needs the job.

Directed by Karola Meeder, Rosamunde Pilcher: Die Glücksbringerin leans on a strong ensemble — Milena Straube, Vinzenz Wagner, Lina Wendel — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about tv movie titles of 0.
