Emil has fallen in love with Larissa. But before the two can really get to know one another, Larissa dies unexpectedly. And Emil, who only wants to obscure the sad truth about Larissa’s death, is mistaken for her former boyfriend. Larissa’s family takes a sincere liking to Emil; her sister Nora even begins to take an interest in the young man who had apparently been with Larissa during the last weeks of her life. Emil is suddenly needed and finds he is able to console Larissa’s family. But the closer his relationship with Nora becomes, all the more difficult it becomes for Emil to live with his fabricated past.

Nella vita reale Emil e Larissa non sarebbero mai una coppia – lei, è una cantante ammirata; lui, è un timido solitario. L’ironia vuole che Emil ottenga visibilità quando Larissa muore, fingendo di essere stato il suo compagno. In questo modo ottiene il riconoscimento che aveva sempre cercato e la famiglia che non ha mai avuto. Andrebbe tutto bene, se lui non si innamorasse della sorella di Larissa che ovviamente non deve venire a sapere tutta la verità.
