Grand Prix

Amalie ejer Ane Mones Blomster, der er en uundværlig del af Bjørkøs fællesskab, men da en ny blomsterbutik åbner, får Amalie svært ved at konkurrere med den landsdækkende kæde. Midt i kaosset må hun tage sig af sin syge søster, og det hjælper slet ikke på sagerne, at den unge automekaniker Mikkel er noget nær det mest irriterende, hun længe har mødt. Mikkel har dog sat alle sejl ind på at imponere Amalie, for der er noget med hende … Mikkel var ganske ung, da han købte sit autoværksted, og han er kendt som en værre rod fra sin barndom. Han vil gerne bevise over for øen, og ikke mindst Amalie, at han har ændret sig, og han kaster sig over et ambitiøst projekt: Han vil genoplive Bjørkø Grand Prix, øens legendariske bilvæddeløb. Grand Prix er en hjertevarm fortælling om at kæmpe for det, man tror på. Det er en romantisk feelgood-fortælling om vilje, sammenhold og kærlighed på en lille ø med et stort hjerte.
