The Heads of My Loved Ones

Based on the novel of the same name by Ingrid Noll. Maja and Cora have been friends since childhood. Grown up, they both get married expecting paradise on earth. Cora marries a rich man called Hennig who is really only interested in one thing.

He turns out to be a danger for their friendship and a risk for their little secret. Consequently, Don drops dead at the table one day. Maja and Cora clear away Don′s body and life seems to be back to normal again, until Mario emerges ...
