"Adulterers and other innocent lambs" - That's what it's about:
Amelie (Margarita Broich) happily rides her bike through the tranquil village of Jansdorf to run some last-minute errands. She has invited neighbors and friends to celebrate her thirtieth wedding anniversary. Even daughter Lou (Maria Ehrich), who is studying in Berlin, is on her way home to congratulate her parents. But when Amelie arrives back home, everything is suddenly different: her husband Robert is lying motionless under the apple tree - heart attack. A deep abyss opens up before Amelie. Lou is also petrified, especially as she is carrying another "problem" around with her: she is having a baby. Unfortunately, her boyfriend Andy, an up-and-coming lawyer, doesn't want to be a father yet. Lou actually wanted to seek advice and comfort from her parents. Instead, she now has to be pragmatic and take care of all the formalities surrounding the funeral. Her mother is incapable of doing anything. At least at first. Because gradually Amelie's behavior causes Lou more and more headaches. Her mother takes a lot of comfort from Pastor Benedikt (Thomas Heinze). To all appearances, she seems to be in love with the churchman. But to Lou's horror, Amelie is not the only one the priest cares for so sensitively. Desperate, Lou wonders whether she needs to intervene. But Amelie figures out how to find her way back into life herself.
