Plot summary
Oliwia Madej is a chef from the big city of Wrocław. However, when she receives the news of her grandma’s passing, she is forced to drop everything and come to the small town of Bodźki, which is in the middle of nowhere.
Oliwia takes a two-day leave from her job to visit and say goodbye to her grandmother. As a kid, she used to love being on her grandmother’s farm.
Oliwia inherits her grandmother’s cooking talent and her short temper. Due to the animosity between her mother and her grandmother, Oliwia and her grandmother got distanced.
On her way into the town, she bumps into a handsome farmer named Kuba, whom she almost kills. She also gets her car stuck in the mud. The town is not the right place for someone like her.
Things get worse when Oliwia finds out that her grandmother faked her death to see if Oliwia comes to meet her.
Oliwia’s grandmother, Halina, has fallen into debt due to a tycoon who owns a local plantation. He called the health department on her and got her banned from making cheese.
Halina is trying to save her farm, and it is going to be passed down to Oliwia in the future. However, Oliwia has zero interest in running this farm. She would rather sell it.
Oliwia is leaving soon, and Halina intends to make her stay and love this place again. Halina’s friends assist her.
Halina goes missing and leaves a letter, saying that the entire farm is Oliwia’s responsibility now. If Oliwia is looking for some help, Halina asks her to go to Wojtek.
While looking for Wojtek, Oliwia finds Kuba and assumes that he is Wojtek. Even Kuba continues to pretend that he is indeed Wojtek and assists Oliwia at her farm.
Over time, Oliwia learns the ropes of being at a farm again and even gets along with the people of the town, who all claim that Halina misses her.
However, some of these people are also working for Halina, and hence, they can’t make deals with Oliwia, who is doing her best to find a way to leave this town.
The tycoon, the owner of Herbal World, who has dragged Halina into court, is now asking for a settlement of 25,000 zlotys from Halina.
This forces Oliwia to extend her stay and meet the owner of Herbal World. It turns out that Kuba is the owner of Herbal World, but Oliwia doesn’t know that. After all, she thinks Kuba is Wojtek.
Kuba keeps this lie up until his father identifies his son in front of Oliwia. The revelation disappoints Oliwia and creates a rift between her and Kuba.
While hanging out with her childhood friend, Matylda, who is a cop, and her family, Oliwia hears about the town’s fair and thinks of selling cheese.
To make it up to Oliwia, Kuba lifts the ban put on Halina and also confesses that he had nothing to do with the complaint made against Oliwia’s grandma.
Kuba wanted to settle, but Halina was the one who started their fight by suing Kuba first. However, it remains to be seen who called the health department on Halina.
At the same time, Halina’s friends know that Oliwia possibly romancing Halina’s archnemesis is something Halina won’t appreciate. Anyhow, if not Oliwia, Kuba has definitely fallen in love with Oliwia.
