Career woman Dana Weber has been working as editor-in-chief of a glossy magazine for 15 years. Her unshakeable self-confidence suffers its first blow when her snooty boss throws her out the door for reasons of age. Because she has never put any money aside and her ex-lover Martin won't lend her any, Dana has to vacate her luxurious apartment. At her older sister Maria's birthday party, it is not easy for her to pretend that everything is as it always was. Widow Maria, on the other hand, who lives in the villa she inherited from her parents, is calm and collected. The practicing esotericist is relaxed about refurbishing old furniture and gets on brilliantly with her sonny-boy offspring Robert - until it turns out that he has been ripped off by a notorious real estate shark and has used his mother's villa as a guarantee.
