A young woman is awaiting a baby; enthusiastic she hurls herself in her ‚new’ family, but the man is fearful and uncertain about their marriage. The forced family structures are crumbling away. Feeling refused by her husband the woman is mentally fractured and feels betrayed. She bolts herself in the majestic estate. (Christoph Rainer)
