Original SummaryPoco prima del suo settimo anniversario di matrimonio, Barbara entra in crisi. Il mestiere di cardiologa è tutta la sua vita, ma è anche molto impegnativo e spesso non le permette di vedere suo marito, un attore indaffarato sempre in giro per teatri e sua figlia di sei anni. La morte di un bambino in clinica la mette ancor più in difficoltà e poi nota anche l'ammirazione che Günter prova per Margot, la sua fidanzata, che passa il tempo prendendosi cura di lui e della casa. Quando pensa di lasciare per un po' il suo lavoro, Barbara supera la crisi: assieme a suo marito capisce che il suo mestiere è parte della sua personalità oltre che la base per una relazione con pari diritti.
