Sophie is a sculptor and lives in Munich, happily married to Gabriel. He is worshipped by their daughter Anne, 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, was in the passenger seat. Sophie meets Michael, the attractive husband of the dead woman, who is just as baffled in his grief as she is.
