Story

Nicole Lehnert came to work at an escort service through her friend Inès. It finances her law degree. Over dinner she met the much older Friedrich Benning - rather by chance. Friedrich's colleague Lars Albers had booked the meal through the escort agency. Nicole likes the charming, successful banker who falls in love with her.. He rents her an apartment and buys her fancy clothes. Friedrich doesn't understand that it will soon be too much for Nicole. She can no longer concentrate on her law studies, does not pass her exams. When Nicole got to know the up-and-coming start-up entrepreneur Josch, who was the same age, her relationship with Friedrich cracked. The drama of mutual dependencies takes a tragic turn.
