Life: Only Trudi (Hannelore Elsner) knows that her husband Rudi (Elmar Wepper) is seriously ill. And it's up to her whether she wants to tell him or not. Trudi decides to keep the illness a secret and persuades Rudi to visit the children and grandchildren in Berlin again. Once there, however, the two have to realize that their children are far too busy with their own lives to take care of their parents. The two then decide to go to a hotel on the Baltic Sea. There Trudi suddenly dies - Rudi is completely thrown off course and does not know how to go on. When he then also learns from his daughter's girlfriend (Franzi, played by Nadja Uhl) that Trudi has sacrificed the life she wanted to live, apparently out of love for him, he sees his deceased wife with new eyes. He decides to make up for her missed life...
