Dopo la morte del marito, Martha, ottant'anni, ha perso la gioia di vivere e non va nemmeno più a giocare a carte la domenica. Nel suo villaggio dell'Emmental, sono tutti preoccupati per lei, specie le sue amiche Lisi, Hanni e Frieda. Determinate a risollevarle il morale, le tre decidono di comune accordo di aiutarla a realizzare un vecchio sogno: aprire un negozio di lingerie. La notizia scatena il putiferio nella piccola borgata di Trub.
