The acting technique of improvisation has been adopted by director Hanna Doose for her second feature film which centres on two formerly inseparable best friends, Laura and Maria, who fell out when Maria‘s great love, Jan, cheated on her with Laura. After years of consciously avoiding any contact with one another, the two women meet again at the deathbed of Maria‘s sister, Kathi, at the parental home in the Black Forest. Carefully repressed conflicts erupt on Maria‘s arrival leading to an existential threat for them all as they relentlessly hold up a mirror to each other. Then, just when everything would seem to be lost, they start fighting for their friendship and look to give Kathi a dignified send-off...
