action

The married couples Werner and Krumm have been friends for four years. For two years Sabine Krumm and Dr. Hartmut Werner an affair known to the other two spouses. The introverted Christiane Werner eats the pain and tries to use her children Annett and two-year-old Tobias as leverage against a divorce. Dr. Rainer Krumm, on the other hand, believes that he can prove his love for Sabine through tolerance. Only when Sabine and Hartmut want to get a divorce, Christiane and Rainer begin to actively defend themselves. Christiane threatens to commit suicide, turns on the gas in front of her little daughter and says that this is a solution to her problems. The next night Annett wakes up because her little brother fell out of the bunk bed. The smell of gas hangs in the air and Annett does not wake both parents. In her nightgown she runs through town to her grandparents' house. Grandpa Rudolf gets the unconscious Christiane and Hartmut out of the house, who are brought to the clinic by ambulance. Any help comes too late for Tobias, he dies of gas poisoning on the scene.

Annett was kept in the hospital with severe symptoms of shock. She keeps asking about her brother, but the doctors don't tell her that Tobias is no longer alive. The clinic's chief physician - Rainer Krumm, takes care of the Werner’s treatment. Hartmut is soon available again, but Christiane is in a coma, after all, she had taken sleeping pills before going to bed. Hartmut believes there is an accident and reports to the investigating Lieutenant Jürgen Huebner about the evening. Christiane wanted to do the dishes in the kitchen after their argument, but didn't do so. Then she went to sleep again before him. He himself got another drink from the kitchen, he didn't notice an open gas tap. The investigators suspect that Christiane wanted to heat water for washing up on the stove, but forgot to light the flame. The focus of Rainer and police psychologist Dr. Rohrbach is in the treatment of Annett. She is inaccessible to questions, screams and panics when her father comes to visit her, and often stands impassively at the window and looks into the hospital park, where she seems to see a happy family with two children. The psychologist tries to reconstruct the events of the evening, but Annett always interrupts the playful interrogation after a short time.

One day Christiane wakes up from her faint and denies having turned the gas tap on. The family has a water boiler so they don't have to heat water on the stove. Christiane is not sure of her psyche, however, and would admit a deed if it were accused of her. In the end, even Rainer Krumm is suspected of having committed the act out of jealousy. The tide turns when Rainer and a nurse watch Annett burying her teddy bear in the garden. She justifies her actions that he did not wake up. She also panics a little later when a nurse warms up milk for her on the stove. Dr. Rohrbach plays a silent film to Rainer and Annett, which contains, among other things, sequences of a couple arguing and a stove with the gas flame turned on. Annett covers her ears at first and then leaves when the stove scene begins. She says that she did not want to lose her father. One of her painted pictures shows a family in gas plumes. Rainer tells the Werner that Annett has turned on the gas. She took Christiane's threat to solve all problems with the gas flame seriously.

A few months later, Annett turns six. Jürgen Hübner comes to congratulate, but is greeted unfriendly by Hartmut. The relationship between Hartmut and his wife is tense, Sabine, in turn, is excluded from the Werners.
