Two people meet, fall in love and everything can go well. But Arndt can't choose Elke. He is married with two children. Each respects his decision, but not for long. Suddenly her dream man is back at the door who has left his wife for her

How much baggage do you carry into a new relationship when you are no longer 20 and already have half your life behind you? When Elke falls in love with Arndt, she initially believes in love. But the relationship is overshadowed by Arndt's problems with his ex-wife Bettina, with whom he has two children. Arndt tells Elke about Bettina's supposed alcohol problems. He begins to talk about it in front of the children as well, playing them off against their mother. In return, Bettina forbids him to see the children. Elke is initially in a dilemma: who is right, Arndt or his ex-wife? Arndt begins to fight for his children by any means necessary. Understandable at first, his fight takes on a compulsive quality. Arndt loses his temper more and more often, also in public. Anyone who is not for him is against him in his eyes - that also applies to Elke. When Arndt finally kidnaps his children from his parents-in-law's garden, Elke finally has to decide whether to continue with him.—Aziz
