Katharina finally wants to take the plunge and move to Canada with her childhood sweetheart Juri. Since her husband Georg has moved out of the family home following their separation, nothing seems to stand in the way of their future together. But then her best friend Sybille tells her that she has a malignant tumour. Katharina decides to stand by her friend. She postpones her plans – much to the displeasure of Juri, to whom she has to keep Sybille’s illness a secret. Juri misunderstands her hesitation and begins to doubt Katharina’s love. The fact that the Commandante briefly disappears with a half-silky countess and even wants to marry her puts an additional strain on him. At the same time, Katharina is moved by Georg’s affectionate farewell. She increasingly realises that she cannot simply give up her life with her family and friends and leave Eisenach.
