De familie Baumanns woont in Niersdorf, een stadje aan de Nederrijn dat over een paar jaar plaats moet maken voor bruinkoolwinning. Sinds de dood van haar man runt Marita Baumanns de plaatselijke familiebakkerij samen met haar zwager Klaus, zijn vrouw Irene en hun dochter Natalie. De Baumanns willen zo lang mogelijk in Niersdorf blijven maar de problemen waar de dorpsgemeenschap mee te kampen krijgt door de dreigende onteigening bereiken snel het bedrijf en uiteindelijk ook de schijnbaar stabiele familiestructuur van de Baumanns.
Nee, helaas is Eher fliegen hier UFOs nog niet beschikbaar op Netflix in Nederland.
