- Anabel (Lisa Martinek) apparently has everything a woman could want: a well-paid husband Dirk (Tim Bergmann), a nice apartment, good friends and an antique shop to keep her busy. The only thing missing is a child, but she can't have one because she accidentally finds out that her husband is sterile. She keeps her husband in the dark about her discovery of his shortcoming, who on the contrary assumes Anabel is incapable of conceiving. One day her pragmatic friend Lissi (Antje Schmidt) comes up with the idea that Anabel could get impregnated by another man and lie to her husband about the paternity of the child. After some initial hesitation Anabel decides to go through with Lissi's idea and thus enter Clemens (Fritz Karl), the new man in her life. A forbidden affair ensues and in the excitement of this whirlwind romance, Anabel no longer yearns for a child. She is on cloud nine and realises what she had been missing all along in her marriage with Dirk. But her double life is short-lived when she finds out that she is pregnant with her lover's child. She is thrilled about giving birth to the baby, but is caught in a dilemma between her lover and her husband; who should she chose to raise the child with? She doesn't want to hurt her husband Dirk by telling him the truth, while at the same time cannot let go of her lover Clemens, who has become an important part of her life.

- The small Berlin shipping company Wünsche is a real family business: Together with her daughter Claudia and her husband Mario, Astrid Wünsche has been offering sightseeing tours through the canals of the capital for many years. Astrid's divorced husband Uwe, with whom she still gets on well despite a painful separation, takes care of the on-board catering and runs a small gourmet restaurant on one of the landing stages. The desires do not yet suspect that dark clouds are brewing over their little idyll: A major American shipping company is pushing into the Berlin market, and top manager Albert Marquard is right with any means to secure a supremacy for the group. With "donations" and "favors" he attracts politicians and committees to his side. Marquard is particularly interested in the route that Astrid covers with her excursion boat. He takes part in one of her tours incognito - and immediately takes a liking to the charming and confident shipowner. Suddenly the tough manager shows himself from an unusually sensitive side: He courted Astrid according to all the rules of the art, surprises her with invitations and carries them out elegantly. Mario alone is suspicious of the urbane Albert. Rightly so, as it soon turns out, because despite his personal affection for Astrid, Marquard threatens to mercilessly force the shipping company Wünsche out of business. When Astrid finds out who her new admirer really is, she turns away from him, disappointed. Determined not to let herself get down, she declares war on the mighty competition. And while Astrid is already hatching a clever plan with her family, Albert has to decide whether he wants to follow his heart or the business interests of his group.
- From Time Out Film Guide Beatt's first feature centres on a staggering performance from Swinton: part Diva, part Harpy, part woman struggling to cope and make sense of it all. She plays Queenie, married to a German and living in Germany; the marriage has reached one of its periodic crises, and Queenie's way out of the impasse is to throw a big all-night party. During it, she humiliates her husband by flirting with a handsome French stranger (Atkine). She succeeds in making a drama out of a crisis. Shot in steely monochrome, this is a small triumph for high-concept film-making. It's structured as a flow of vignettes, with an ever-changing cast of party guests in the background; dozens of people get their minute or two of prominence, but everything turns around the central triangle of wife, husband and potential lover. The only real weakness is the dialogue, far too much of which is quoted from literature and poetry. But the grasp of mood and rhythm is spot on. Author: TR, Time Out Film Guide
