They have been lovers, they have become spouses, now Ellen and Katharina would like to be parents. They seek help from another couple, their friends Natalie and Wolfgang, and it works. Thanks to an in vitro fertilisation, Katharina gives birth to Baby Franz. And all it takes now for Ellen to become Franz’ legal mother are her adoption papers to pass. But the youth welfare office hesitates to greenlight the procedure. Her fear of losing Franz drives Ellen to the edge. She feels let down by Katharina, she grows cranky and suspicious. Their relationship suffers. Just when they have eventually reconciled, fate strikes. Katharina dies in a car accident, before the adoption is finalised. As Katharina’s parents, Evelyn and Johannes, as well as the biological father Wolfgang show more and more interest in the little boy, Ellen’s suspicion is rekindled – she is his mother after all. Why is everybody questioning this? Despite all the good intentions, a fight ensues over Franz, over ‘Our Child’.
