Only when her father (Jörg Gudzuhn) claims that she has a half-sister (Olga von Luckwald) and a falconer (Dennis Pörtner) asks her to take in a young falcon does she end up in a whirlpool of long-hidden, painful emotions. She begins to domesticate the falcon, convinced that the bird will never leave her. At the same time, she has to deal with the discovery of a dead baby, whose identity is unclear, and two other cases.
