Storyline
Hanna Lorenz, a lawyer, lives with her husband Robert and their two teenage children, Charlotte and Patrick. She and Robert jointly run a law firm, and Hanna perceives her life as perfectly ideal and stable. This perception changes when she discovers that Robert has been in a decade-long relationship with their colleague Bettina and is now leaving her. Additionally, Robert has diverted funds from the business, leaving Hanna with an almost empty bank account.
As the ensuing divorce proceeds, Hanna begins reassessing her personal life. She becomes aware of the difficulties her daughter Charlotte has been experiencing and recognises her limited involvement in Patrick's life, especially when he expresses a desire to live with his father. Despite these challenges, Hanna successfully establishes a new law firm, though the swift setup results in an unconventional team of colleagues. Specialising in family law, Hanna draws on her personal experiences to approach her cases, despite the complexities of her own situation.
