Synopsis

A woman faces her past - and creates her future. 

Elise, a 76 year old woman, knows exactly how her last years of life will be: With Paul, with who she has been married happily for 50 years, she wants to continue living in their villa on the Zurichberg until her last breath, while their faithful housekeeper Angela takes care of them. 

But one day, Angela is discovered by a theatre man and is engaged for a play. Paul runs over a man with his 68-Maserati and befriends him later; Elise passionately makes out with a young veterinary, who resembles a lot to her childhood love Robert - she faints. 

These events wouldn't have any impact on the rest of the lives of Elise and Paul, if the young vet wasn't the son of the reached man and this one the theater man who engaged Angela. 

Is it all by chance? Is it fate? And does Elise have the right to rewrite the biography of all parties this late?
