The Berlin writer Agnes Berg receives a literary prize for her new novel, in which she writes sensitively about dying. But then the unbelievable happens: Her only daughter Johanna, who has settled in Mallorca, her adopted home with her Spanish husband and two children, is killed in a car accident. Agnes is shaken because the painful argument that had divided mother and daughter for 15 years can no longer be resolved. Agnes travels to Spain with her best friend Katharina, where a frosty reception awaits them. The grandchildren Natascha and Enrico have never seen their German grandmother and are dismissive. The housekeeper Inez, the gardener Pablo and Maria, the Spanish mother of her son-in-law, let Agnes know that she is not welcome. Only Katharina and Richard Gutmann, lawyer and long-time friend of the family, encourage her. Step by step, Agnes wins the trust of the two grandchildren, who soon take their grandmother into their hearts. But suddenly Agnes 'publisher appears with supposedly good news: An American media company wants to market her books and is inviting the German author on a month-long reading tour. Agnes faces a difficult decision.
