Zurück aufs Eis
Divorced policewoman Maren and her daughter Amelie live together in Bad Tölz and are a close-knit team. Not just mother and daughter, but best friends. But then Amelie starts to study, falls head over heels in love with her fellow student Erik and moves in with him in a shared student flat in Munich. Without Amelie, Maren not only feels very alone in the apartment, but also in life. She has to realize that she has been hiding behind Amelie for the last eight years after the divorce and hasn't had a life of her own. So she slowly goes "back on the ice". On the uncertain, slippery and sometimes painful ice that is called "life".
