A fate that tears at the fabric of a family - and holds it together at the same time

The severe disability of a couple's six-year-old daughter puts great strain on her family and threatens to shatter it. Yet with her unique charm and bright spirits, the child herself helps to keep her family together.

Actress Corinna Beilharz and her daughter Marlene, who suffers from dystonic athetosis, play the lead roles in this penetratingly authentic portrayal of the nearly insurmountable problems facing a family with a severely disabled child.

A pretty child with bright blue eyes, wispy blond hair and a sunny disposition, Pauline is a little angel, a gift from heaven to her parents Michael and Hanna. But she is also a challenge, like an angel without wings... Six-year-old Pauline is severely disabled and needs constant care and attention. Her parents and her older brother have managed remarkably well until now, but the growing emotional and financial strain on the family can no longer be overlooked. Unable to find the peace of mind necessary for his work, and feeling neglected by his wife, Michael cheats on Hanna. And Hanna, a strong-willed woman who no longer has the time to pursue her acting career, pushes herself to her limits and refuses to see that her family is tearing itself apart. Yet even in their darkest moments, Hanna and Michael realize that their love for one another is strong enough to carry them through the greatest ordeals. And that they will never stop loving the child that demands so much from them, the little angel that fell out of the sky and that will fly again some day...
