The story

After her husband’s suicide, a psychologist takes over his patients and becomes troubled by the closeness between one young patient and her late husband.

Full plot (contains spoilers)

Psychologist Greta Chameni’s life is thrown off balance after her husband and practice partner, Rainer, dies by suicide. Precisely because Greta is a psychologist herself, she now blames herself for failing to notice the signs that her husband wanted to die, and feels guilty. Since Greta shared a practice with her husband, she now takes over his patients as well. The young and distraught Stefanie Wagner, in particular, pleads with Greta to continue her therapy. But the longer the psychologist treats Stefanie, the more she senses—and is unsettled by—the profound closeness that existed between Stefanie and her husband, Rainer. In her distress, Greta turns for help to her former psychology teacher, Benjamin Mahler, who was also Rainer’s supervisor.
