89 minutes exactly — the "classic feature" runtime most directors aim for.

Heinrich Gruber, a public prosecutor as he stands, and the travel journalist Tom Gruber have little in common in life. The two gentlemen in their 60s are all the more astonished when they get to know each other at the opening of a will - as the husbands of the deceased. Sophia, who had a car accident, led a double life that was both secret and happy for decades. While the esoteric Tom would like to get to know his rival in order to understand his beloved wife even better, Heinrich turns completely stubborn in his pain.
“Some stories are better left unspoiled.”
