Zimbabwe, Congo, Nigeria, Somalia... She reported on the political events in African crisis regions, capturing refugee camps and child soldiers on camera. She witnessed people dying before her eyes - from hunger, exhaustion, gunfire, and landmines. Her statements were broadcast live in the evening news: Journalist Katja Dannemann considers herself hardened when it comes to life. Including love. Until she meets Irina. Katja spent five years in Africa as a correspondent for a private TV station before returning to Germany. There, she is greeted not only by her sister Sophie and her family but unfortunately also by a rather unappealing job as the editor-in-chief of the local television station. A bright spot in her life is Irina, a Russian student working as an au pair for her sister. From their very first encounter, she feels drawn to her.
