Die Welt steht still

When images of Bergamo in Italy circulate globally in spring 2020, the term "pandemic" becomes widely understood even among non-medical people. The previously unknown coronavirus spreads rapidly across the world. Four days later, Germany also implements exit and contact restrictions. From that point on, the life of the Konstanz-based intensive care physician Dr. Carolin Mellau and her family is turned upside down. The female doctor joins the crisis team and is on duty around the clock to prepare the clinic for the impending emergency. As an anesthesiologist intubating patients infected with COVID-19, she herself faces a high risk of infection. Meanwhile, her husband Stefan must cancel his concerts as a musician, can no longer teach his music students, and suddenly finds himself at home without income. Their teenage daughter Luzy is no longer allowed to see her Swiss boyfriend due to the closed border, and she and her brother Tim are unable to attend school. However, the worst case for the family is yet to come.
