A year after his wife Beata’s suicide, Johannes Rosmer, is sharing his home with another woman. Rebecca, Beata’s longtime friend, has been a source of support helping Rosmer through his grief. Although they’ve maintained a respectful distance, their relationship is questioned by the general public. Rector Kroll, Rosmer’s brother-in-law, is offended by his living arrangement and new progressive attitude. The constant criticism pushes Rosmer to make a drastic life-changing decision.
