Meine Tochter, mein Leben
Ruth Lorentz is an attractive, self-confident woman in her early 50s. Since the birth of her daughter Lea and the separation from her father, a married art professor, Ruth has not entered into a partnership. In order to be able to offer Lea better prospects for the future, she studied business administration instead of art and thus made it to the position of head of marketing at a well-known printing company. She always wanted the best for her daughter, but she almost suffocated Lea with her love. Lea is now in her mid-twenties and is cutting her cord from her mother. She quits her unpopular business studies to devote herself entirely to painting - a wish that Ruth once had to deny herself. Ruth is disappointed and puts the bad development back to the bad influence of Lea's friend Björn, who is a daydreamer in Ruth's eyes. Lea suddenly begins to suffer from severe paralysis, whereupon the doctors diagnose multiple sclerosis. Mother and daughter have to deal with the disease - and thus also with their close relationship. A terrible suspicion germinates in Ruth: Lea could have fallen ill from the intensive contact with solvents to which she was exposed during her student job in Ruth's print shop. Against Lea's will, Ruth tries everything to substantiate this suspicion. The company immediately switched on the tough works lawyer Robert Sturm - of all things, Ruth's old childhood sweetheart, with whom she just got in touch again. When it turns out that several print shop workers are showing symptoms similar to Lea's, Robert has to choose between his career and his loyalty to Ruth.
