"For me it was a matter of the heart to make a film about the subject of depression. I know what I'm talking about because I've been through this illness myself," said Eva Habermann, the leading actress and producer of this dramedy. She plays the alcoholic and tablet-addicted lawyer Mona, whose suffering was triggered by a serious accident. Her husband Theo, on the other hand, an unsuccessful novelist, blossoms more and more when the beautiful Alina, daughter of a friend of Mona's, moves into the chic suburban villa for a few days. Theo's pubescent daughter Hanna is the only one who realises that the already fragile family constellation is in danger of collapsing.
