Since the middle of March, many people’s lives have been turned upside down. The Coronavirus is spreading. Politicians are taking more and more measures that have a drastic impact on life. The residents of Berlin are among those feeling the effects.

Anna, a young doctor, finds her part-time work in a family practice pushing her to the limit. She can only process it up to a point, because of the domestic upheaval waiting for her at home. Supermarket manager Michael Lind is a man on a mission: to reassure his customers, and to make clear that there is no need for panic buying.
