They seem to fill an empty space in her life. Through Anna's awkward attempts to join in with the teenagers' escapades, she unwittingly becomes the centre of a breakdown within the family, and finds herself shunned by everyone. She attempts to find solace through phone calls to her husband Alex but is met by jealousy and suspicion. 
 
Anna retreats to an anonymous hotel room, where Verena visits her, and Anna's untold story finally emerges. Her curious behaviour appears in a new light and she now has to pick up the pieces of her relationship with Alex.
