After Dr. Patricia Engel experienced a treatment error with a fatal outcome that was also covered up, she gave up her promising career as a doctor and became a lawyer. When she once again comes across a medical error in the clinic of her father, heart specialist Professor Brenner, of all people, she tries everything she can to save the patient. But the surgeon turns against her and sics a lawyer on his daughter.

Four contemplative stories about problems with love: "Profitability" is about money, "The Smile" is about coping with a difficult situation, an "Experiment with Alf" is supposed to save a marriage, and in "Paternity" a lawyer and her husband are committed to a little girl who is the subject of a lawsuit.
