action
The suffering of his wife, suffering from cancer, has put Thomas in a desperate position. He calls the pastor Susanne and confesses that he has released his wife from her suffering. Susanne is stunned. Especially when she realizes that she knew the woman.
A heated argument begins between Thomas and Susanne about his act. Arguments turn into reproaches. Little does Susanne suspect that Thomas is preparing a deadly drink at the same time. Only when he overcomes his anger and lets Susanne look inside himself do the two take a step towards each other. “Can you forgive me?” Thomas wants to know.
In the end, both are faced with a decision that, no matter how it turns out, can only be the wrong one.
