Story
Petra (played by Ulrike Kriener) is a passionate entrepreneur. When she has to retire after 20 years in her job, the resulting emptiness hits her out of the blue and with full force. Her husband, on the other hand, hopes that they will finally take the adventure holiday she promised him, which she has successfully avoided until now. As she is not a big fan of surprises herself, she hires her former assistant to organise the trip.
