Full plot (contains spoilers)
Journalist Kathrin has no problem telling little white lies, whether at work or during sex with her young lover Luca, with whom she convincingly fakes orgasms. But everything changes when she tries to get rid of her allergy. The powder she gets from the Chinese therapist Wong Li has a serious side effect: she can no longer lie and tells everyone the truth. The change affects her job: after she botches an interview with the famous actor Daniel König, she is summarily fired. On top of that, her unfaithful ex-husband Michael reappears and, after an affair, tries to win her back. Kathrin realizes that life without lies is entirely possible and that she has to choose between her young lover and her ex-husband.
