Anna has the difficult task of accompanying her mother Eva during the slow death of her father. She wants to gather the family one last time in one room. While she seems to almost break down at this task, her mother finds one reason after another not to enter the room next to the bedside of her dying husband. But Anna doesn't give up and tries to put an end to her mother's flight from reality.
Anne falls in love with the Jewish doctor Daniel. Since he is not Jewish, he allows himself to be coached accordingly in order to keep up appearances. Every attempt by Daniel to clear up the misunderstanding achieves the opposite. Eventually he capitulates because he doesn't want to lose Anne. Tobias has to help him.
