Policeman Georg is very popular amongst his colleagues for always being calm and cool-headed. His partner Michael also admires him for his apparently harmonic marriage with Anne, an attractive primary school teacher. When a promotion is announced to Georg, he begins to lose control over the carefully maintained façade of his "intact" family. The conflicts, that have been dominating the couple's life for years, start to surface: Anne's struggle for recognition ' while the traces of domestic violence can no longer be hidden. Under the Christmas tree tragedy unfolds - "It aint no drama, Anne!' ' Well, yes, it is.
