Medical-technical assistant Marlen and her husband Henning are happily married, but are unable to have children. They decide to adopt a Chilean girl and hopefully set off for Puerto Montt, where the child lives in an orphanage. After some time, when the ice finally breaks between them, a dramatic incident shocks the parents.

They are actually a mother-daughter team that could hardly be more harmonious: the respected Hamburg pediatrician Claudia Kayser and her almost 17-year-old daughter Carolin. Since the tragic death of her beloved father, the two have become even closer - at that time the girl helped her grieving mother to overcome a difficult emotional depression.
