Marie, eighteen years old, disappointed with the world and suffering from borderline personality disorder, does not belong in this life. She hates the evenings in the shared apartment when the caregiver tries to lure the girls to the equality table to talk about their fears. When will they finally understand that life for girls in shared living does not hold a happy ending? This, Marie believes, is the bitter truth. Worse than the group sessions is the psychiatric ward; she definitely does not want to go back there. Thus, she agrees to the deal proposed by her therapist Willi: he will ensure that she does not end up back in the closed ward, and in return, she promises to put her plan to take her own life on hold - for at least a year. She must also agree to attend therapy sessions regularly. There, she meets Emanuel, and although she generally avoids peers.
