Lena doesn’t have much time left, as the boxes for their relocation to Bangkok are already packed when she discovers she’s pregnant – a medical impossibility, according to her doctors. Though she and Felix have a young daughter and seem perfectly positioned to have a second child, Lena makes the difficult decision to terminate the pregnancy. But how profound will the consequences of this decision be for her?

Lena and Felix don’t see eye to eye about the baby. But the question is, what do they do when one of them wants the baby and the other doesn’t? Felix doesn’t understand why Lena isn’t ecstatic. After all, plans can change. But Lena is adamant about not having another child, and that seems to be non-negotiable. When Felix’s friend Max drops by, he shares news that makes the situation even more difficult for Felix.

Lena faces her first hurdle. When she returns home, Felix is gone, leaving nothing but a note. At the gynecologist’s office, Lena is not only met with a lack of understanding about her plans, but she also has to face a flood of questions. Although her sister Tina is there for her, Lena increasingly realizes that this burden is hers alone to bear. Tina, a medical student, is eager to provide her sister with the best medical knowledge she can, but she takes it a bit too far.

Lena has to deal with hostile picketers on her way into the counseling center. It becomes clear to her that an increasing number of complete strangers want to interfere in her personal decisions. Then she meets Zoe, who offers both neutral professional guidance and unexpected friendship. Felix and Lena’s paths cross again at Zoe and Max’s home.

Lena has already weathered a number of challenges, but her greatest lies ahead. She bumps into her old friend Jakob, now a religion teacher. His life plans also changed over the years, and Lena has a somewhat indirect heart-to-heart with him about her situation. Soon after, she finds herself in Dr. Roithner’s office, facing the moment of her final decision. Will she go through with the abortion?

The final step of the journey is one that Lena must take by herself. She has made her choice, one that has changed not only her, but her small family as well.
