The idealistic psychologist Paul Winter (Christoph Schechinger) finds it difficult to refuse a request for his professional help. However, when his first love Hanna (Christina Athenstädt) seeks him out, the experienced therapist has no doubt that he is too emotionally involved. He is reluctant to heed his mother Helga's (Hildegard Schroedter) advice not to let Hanna into his life. As a friend, he agrees to delve into the causes of Hanna's burnout. In doing so, he uncovers not only the toxic relationship of the once self-confident architect with her manipulative husband (David Rott) but also learns the true reasons behind the failure of their dreamlike but brief time together long ago. The more Paul engages with this, the deeper he himself falls into a crisis. He knows from his work with therapy dog Käthe that traumas can only be overcome through reconciliation. It is only when he allows himself to grieve the lost future he had envisioned with Hanna that his emotional entanglement begins to unravel.
