A young woman cries. A new day begins. Rike works as a painter and varnisher. She wears white work clothes. Every day she takes public transportation to work. She and her colleagues paint walls white. Every movement is clear. After work, she buys herself a bouquet of flowers, and as she walks through the streets, something changes. The world gives her something back.

On the outside, Helen has it all – a loving family and a successful career – but when her suppressed mental illness resurfaces, the world crumbles around her. Crippled by depression, Helen finds solace through her friendship with Mathilda, a kindred spirit struggling with bipolar disorder.

Painting is an unacceptable vocation for a woman in provincial Germany in the year 1900, but budding artist Paula Becker is determined to make her own rules.
