Synopsis

Frida (36) wishes for a child. The relationship with her boyfriend Tobias has been subject to a strict conception program for two years now. But whatever she does, her wish for a child is not fulfilled. Just when she is considering in vitro fertilization, Tobias ends the relationship. Frida’s whole life plan is falling apart. She longs for a home and family, and now she has to start all over again in her mid-thirties? While her friends move on to the next phase of their lives, her own life seems to move backward.
