Lena (Gina Henkel, ensemble member at the Braunschweig State Theatre) lives with her boyfriend Jakob and works as a bacteriologist. After a hard day at work, she witnesses a terrible accident on the motorway. She drives past a burning car and hears a woman's death scream. When she arrives home, Lena only mentions the incident in passing. Nevertheless, she is deeply shaken by what she has experienced. She can no longer sleep at night and tries to distract herself by working long hours. But the memory will not leave her. Lena finds out the identity of the deceased and sets out to find her family. Lena delves deeper and deeper into their lives. In doing so, she increasingly risks losing control of her own life.
