Una and Diddi have just fallen in love —but no one’s allowed to know, especially not Diddi’s long-time girlfriend, Klara. Before he can come clean with her, however, he dies in a terrible accident. As Klara and the friends of the deceased console each other, Una must find a way to cope with a pain that she’s not really allowed to feel.
