SummaryBefore her seventh wedding anniversary, the doctor Barbara Heim is in a crisis. Working as a heart surgeon is part of her life, but she demands a lot from her. At home her husband Günter waits - a busy actor whom she often sees only briefly before he has to go to the theatre. And there's the six-year-old daughter the mother needs. The death of a child in the clinic intensifies their conflict. She also sees the admiring looks Günter has for her friend Margot, whose purpose in life is to look after herself and her home. The thought of suspending the work for a while arises in her. Barbara overcomes the crisis. The spouses know that their responsible work is an integral part of their personality and a basis for their equal partnership.
