“We have a donor liver for you!” For two years, 17-year-old Frank (Valentino Fortuzzi) and his parents Regina (Carina Wiese) and Peter (Jörg Pose) have been waiting for the redemptive sentence from transplant surgeon Dr. Hellweg (Annette Frier). At last, a suitable organ is on its way! Is this the decisive turning point in Frank’s medical history? Or is it just another glimmer of hope for the desperate family, who have already hoped in vain for a donor liver and even considered an illegal organ purchase in India? Between hope and fear, Frank prepares for the upcoming operation.
Meanwhile, in the operating room, Dr. Hellweg is also fighting for the life of Dafina (Barbara Prakopenka), with whom Frank has formed a close bond during their time together in the hospital. But Dafina’s body rejects her donor liver. The 17-year-old girl has only a few hours to live if another organ is not found for her immediately. In fact, the organ allocated to Frank by the central procurement office would also be a chance for Dafina. Should Dr. Hellweg inform the 17-year-old about his girlfriend’s critical condition? And can she expect him to make the decision about Dafina’s life…?
