After a car accident, Pastor Peter Aebi (60) is in a persistent vegetative state. His dependent and unhappy wife Katharina (56) and his three adult children Eddi, Silvia, and Johannes must decide whether to let their husband and father live or—as he himself requested in his living will—let him die. Just then, Katharina rediscovers her zest for life thanks to the influence of a burglar who has been caught. And the neighbors suddenly believe that the coma patient is performing minor and major miracles.
