One night in her local bar she bumps into Marcel, an almost forgotten acquaintance. Just after he recognises her takes flight, finding refuge in the flat of her friend Sabine. The following day, the events of the previous evening still grate on and she cannot seem to shake them off, even during her work at the hospital. A young girl, Greta, is brought in, takes care of her and a gentle affection develops between them. But this happiness is short-lived because, a little later, witnesses an encounter between Greta and Marcel. The three catch sight of each other and realises she will not be able to run away this time.
