After the trial, she was gutted by the press and even a stranger threw a paint bag at her.
The same perpetrator wants to take revenge for Lea Leid and threatens the professor with calls and threats.

The police take them both away, Eva visits Gutenberg in the hospital and closes her old marriage by throwing the wedding ring and other memories with her husband's favorite lunch box in the trash.
criticism
"(Ferndeh) drama about a career woman who is losing her feet and is confronted with the destruction of her previous life."
"Director Nils Willbrandt [...] shot this genre work based on his own script, which was tailored to the always brilliant leading actress Thekla Carola Wied. However, the whole thing seems pretty implausible and in some places sometimes completely out of thin air. Because too much suddenly falls on the protagonist. Here, fewer entanglements and blows of fate would certainly have been more! "
