At the funeral, Georg's family, including his wife Eva and adult children Reh and Jan, gather to pay their respects. However, their return trip is blocked by bad weather, and they're forced to stay in the village. As they wait, Georg's great love, Hannah, and his illegitimate son, Alex, arrive, and Georg's double life is revealed. The truth about his past shocks his family, leaving them stunned and reeling.
