The big party celebrating the 60th birthday of Julia Preus and her twin brother Karl is the last time the family will come together in peace. The next morning, Karl is dead, and the family’s bond disintegrates. Three women were pivotal in shaping Karl’s fate: his twin sister Julia, a sober alcoholic who turned her back on the family business, and Karl’s first wife Constanze, with whom he continues to share a close bond. The third is Karl’s wife Ricarda, who remains discreetly in the background while assisting him with all the important decisions, and has been keeping her new cancer flare-up a secret from everyone, including Karl.
