Sophie (Christine Neubauer) is a sculptor and lives in Munich, happily married to Gabriel (Georg Ebinal). He is worshipped by their daughter Anne (Leonie Kienzle), though as a hotel manager he spends a lot of time on Mallorca. Just as well that Sophie's mother Christa (Angelika Bender) always has plenty of time for her granddaughter. And then one day the family gets terrible news: Gabriel has been killed in a car crash.
Deeply shaken, Sophie flies to Mallorca where she is required to identify the body. And now it emerges that her husband was not alone in the car at the time. A woman Sophie has never seen before, Maren (Dani Stein), was in the passenger seat.

Torn between their desire to know the truth and fear of being hurt, Sophie and Michael proceed to uncover the double lives that their partners were leading. Just as they feel consumed by despair they begin to come close - and fall in love. But for Sophie the happiness of her family is more important than her own. So she is quite prepared to risk our love for Michael…
