About
When Hanne's ex-husband Kurt, who has dementia and has forgotten their divorce, appears at her door, her marriage to Bernd is unsettled.
Hanne, an artist played by Dagmar Manzel, and Bernd, a retired pastor played by August Zirner, have been married for years, and their relationship has settled into a routine. Their life is disrupted when Kurt (Harald Krassnitzer), Hanne's former husband, turns up at their door without warning. Kurt has dementia and no longer recalls that he and Hanne divorced two decades earlier. Hanne and Bernd take him in for a while. The arrangement brings back a lightness they thought their marriage had lost, but the longer it lasts, the more their everyday life together begins to come apart.
