- Synopsis
- Theo (Marcus Grüsser) always dreamed of a career as a writer, but always failed because of his fear of failing. After the tragic suicide of his first wife thirteen years ago, he found support in her sister Mona (Eva Habermann). But a serious accident leaves Mona with a crippled leg. She numbs her suffering with medication and alcohol.
  
  When Alina (Caroline Hartig), the charming daughter of one of Mona’s friends, temporarily moves in with the family, the shaky construct collapses. Theo takes refuge in romantic fantasies with the young Alina. The more Theo blossoms, the more Mona slips into a deep depression. Theo’s pubescent daughter Hanna (Lilly Liefers) is the only one who recognizes the seriousness of the situation and stands helplessly by as her stepmother Mona slides more and more towards the abyss.
