At the latest when Helga crashes into the heating duct of her living room and gets stuck there for a night, the 62-year-old realizes that quite a few things in her life are amiss. Ever since her husband left her for another woman two years ago, Helga has not been able to truly overcome her anger and grief. She feels abandoned by her friends and her daughter. When her cleaning lady goes on vacation and sends the Polish worker Ryszard as a substitute, everything changes. Although they do not speak the same language, Helga feels understood and can finally let go. When Helga's family and friends find out about their unusual relationship, Helga finds it difficult to stand by her feelings for Ryszard in front of the others. Helga almost loses her hard-won happiness.
