Cheryl is a tidy person. At least, that's what she thinks of herself: After all, thanks to her self-invented method of daily organization (no unnecessary trips around the house, avoiding dishes by eating directly from the pots and pans, reading books on the shelf instead of letting the apartment be chaotic), she has her life completely under control.
But her obsession with self-control can't mask the emotional emptiness in her life. Even in her early forties, she still doesn't really know what love feels like. In her fantasies, she has a highly erotic relationship with Philipp, a board member at the company where she works (which distributes self-defense videos for women), but this old geezer is himself infatuated with a much younger woman and, of all people, asks Cheryl for permission to pursue this relationship with obscene text messages.
But this obsession with self-control can't disguise the emotional emptiness in her life. Understandably, it comes as a near-seismic shock when Clee suddenly moves in with her—a woman half Cheryl's age, with long, blonde hair, smelly feet, and, to put it mildly, a rather unpretentious manner. At first, she simply sprawls out on the sofa, but soon after, she's questioning Cheryl's entire life: Is it possible that she's fallen in love with this woman?
