Everybody wants to be loved — including Ina, an overworked, people-pleasing psychotherapist. But attending to everyone else in her life, while neglecting herself, is taking its toll. On a blisteringly hot summer day in Germany, Ina notices something is wrong with her. But between patient waiting at the practice, her daughter threatening to move in with her father, her boyfriend wanting to emigrate to Finland and her self-centered mother planning a grand 70th birthday bash, Ina doesn't have time to worry about herself. She continues to focus on the needs of everyone else — but she’s reaching her breaking point.
