The 25-year-old spends her nights hanging around Berlin with best friend Nora, having lost interest in her architectural studies long ago.

Nora is thrilled by the news though, proclaiming: “we’re having a baby!” After some initial doubts, Lara too begins to see her pregnancy as a chance. Together with Nora, she sets about painting the nursery and goes in search of the baby’s father. Then the gynaecologist gives Lara some bad news…
