Jakob is accompanied by his pretty wife Madlon, whom he married not out of love but out of a sense of responsibility. He never learned to love and be loved. In Jacob's eyes, his mother Jonah is to blame for this. Meeting her reopens old wounds: to this day he cannot forgive his mother for always being dismissive and only sporadically taking part in family life. The cool, unapproachable woman has always lived her own "second" life on an inherited farm on the other side of the lake. It is here of all places that Madlon Jonas meets the charming administrator Rudolf, for whom she soon feels more than for her husband. Against his will, Jakob also falls in love into his equally enchanting and courageous childhood friend Clarissa. Out of fear of his feelings, however, he reacts with the same emotional coldness that Jonah always exemplified for him. It seems like his mother's hard-heartedness only makes everyone unhappy. But Jacob has no idea that Jonah has a dark secret that weighs like a shadow over the family. Written by ARD Das Erste See less
