Marko is in his early thirties. He is looking forward to a relatively quiet weekend in the small town where his parents live. But there’s news: Gitte, who has been bipolar since Marko’s childhood, announces that she has decided to do away with her medication and is now looking forward to sharing the rest of her life with her husband. Gitte’s unexpected recovery thwarts Günter’s own plans. Marko’s younger brother Jakob and his partner Ella also find themselves at a crossroads.
