Summer in Berlin, and on this Saturday morning Katja and Sebastian would much rather have stayed in bed, slept in for once and let the day drift. But the weekend, like so much in the architect couple's life, is planned, and they set off to visit friends in Mecklenburg. On the way it happens: Sebastian has a stroke. A helicopter takes him to hospital, and intensive care keeps him alive. But it soon becomes clear that he will remain severely mentally disabled. Katja hopes at first to bring him back to life with her closeness and her love. But does he even recognise her? Is this still Sebastian?
