Spoilers ahead
In Cologne, Martha Sabel [Sandra Hüller] and Paul Sabel [Felix Knopp] live a contented life together: she teaches at a school, and he is studying medicine at the university, having handed in his thesis to Professor Gellendorf and secured a job in Marseille. While she packs up to join him there, he heads ahead on the road, eager to start their next chapter.
Shortly after, the police reach out to Martha with devastating news: Paul has been found dead in his car in Marseille, and the verdict is suicide. Disbelieving the report, she leaves increasingly frantic messages on his cellphone, clinging to any strand of connection. Then they deliver his personal effects, minus the phone, and she must organize a funeral for the repatriated body.
