The Klettmann family lives in a posh suburb of Munich and doesn't seem to have any financial problems. Peter Klettmann (Torben Liebrecht) is a successful lawyer, his wife Anna (Maria Simon) takes care of their children Vivian (Julia Beautx), Daniel (Vico Magno) and Emma (Nele Richter). Family life seems perfect, but on Anna's 44th birthday the world suddenly collapses: In a fit of anger, Peter kills his wife.
