Wenn das Leben dir eine Schildkröte schenkt

A family that sometimes doesn't want to be one, a turtle that accompanied them for 40 years, and a secret that must come to light one way or another. "Charly is dead. It's not my fault." With these words, Grandma Frieda invites the family to the garden of the old villa in Murnau for the burial. Charly was the family's turtle, with whom everything began over 40 years ago. Heinrich, the grandfather who isn't really the grandfather, brought Charly as a gift for Frieda's children, for whom he had just fallen in love. However, no one suspected that Heinrich also brought secrets with him that he would keep longer than Charly would live. And he is not the only one in this motley clan who struggles with himself and his fellow human beings. Yet everyone sets out to pay their last respects to Charly. It will be a day when everyone wants to bring something to a close, and yet a new beginning unfolds.
