Although TV presenter Kim Lange’s marriage is on the rocks, it’s trebles all round at work; she has just won the German Television Award! Sadly, on the very same night, she is crushed to death by the debris from a crashed Russian space station. 

At the gates of Heaven, she is informed that she has collected too much bad karma in her life – she neglected her daughter and cheated on her husband. So back to square one: she is reborn as an ant.
Life as an ant isn’t exactly a bundle of laughs and progressing up the ladder of reincarnation requires a lot of good karma…pronto. After a short life as a beagle, she finally gets reborn as a fat French-fries seller. Just in time to sabotage the marriage of her former husband to her treacherous best friend…
Original, heart warming, and a total hoot!
