SIBYLLE

Auring a holiday in Italy, the pragmatic architect, mother and wife Sibylle witnesses a suicide during one of her morning walks: a woman her age jumps from the cliffs along Lake Garda. Shocked by what she has seen, Sibylle’s perception of her own life changes.

Back in Munich, Sibylle tries, unsuccessfully, to suppress her memories of the incident and feels estranged from her own family. And coincidences and cor­relations between Sibylle’s and the dead woman’s fate continue to come to light. When Sibylle finally uncovers the woman’s secret, it is almost too late to halt the changes taking place in her own life…
