Aufbruch: Aufbruch

SYNOPSIS

There is a fine line between care and interference, as Vera Mundt knows from painful experience. As a mother, she crossed this line with her son Paul: the 18-year-old blames her for the failure of his first great love and is staying with a friend for the time being. In order to learn from mistakes, Vera has also prescribed more restraint in her job. For example, the care assistant initially gives the unreasonable pain patient Franziska Loer, a mother of two girls, patience and empathy - although the single parent clearly needs more help and burdens her older daughter Edda with too much responsibility. When the girl collapses at school, the moment has come for Vera to get to the bottom of the cause. She and her boss Dr. Chris Wegner suspect "Hashimoto", an incurable autoimmune disease. In order to be able to be there for her daughters again, the patient has to face her fears. Meanwhile, there is good news from Sören, the younger brother of Vera's "family friend" Daniel: The 15-year-old is recovering from the serious injuries from the unexplained accident and wants to stay with the Mundts temporarily. Paul would also like to change his living situation and set up a "Best-Friends-WG" with Charly. Vera, on the other hand, hopes that her son will come home again.
