What if you didn't exist? Two emotional women's fates, a great love in Italy, and a dark chapter of German history. With the ring of a doorbell, everything changes for Hanna: an old, fragile-looking lady introduces herself as Else Ferrando and claims to be her biological great-grandmother. How does this fit into the picture, when until now, it has always been about great-grandmother Alma? The family reacts so hostilely that the visitor wants to leave in resignation. But because Hanna herself is caught between two decisions, she spontaneously decides to accompany Else back to her homeland in Liguria. An emotional journey begins, during which Hanna not only learns everything about Else's tragic past but also meets the attractive Italian Matteo. He gives her a glimpse of what her own future could look like.
