Her husband Walter (Günter Junghans) has kept secret from her how bad things are for the small wine business and her finances. When he suddenly dies of a heart attack, Hanna realises how deeply in debt she is. Her apartment is mortgaged, her bank card confiscated and her only option is to go to the social welfare office.

Now that Lars has learned the truth, he is urging Elke to reconcile with her mother and help her. But there is an old conflict between the women that neither of them wants to talk about...
