Dina tirelessly pursues her goal of removing the taboo surrounding mental health in the workplace and transforming her office at the heart of the hospital into a place of encounter, healthy conflict, and learning. But all of Dina's offers are met with reluctance by the staff, and Ms. Jelinek is also insisting on results. It doesn't help that Anton, who has become increasingly distracted lately, forgets to inform Dina about the evaluation appointment with the hospital director. Since attack is the best defense, Dina's quick wit saves her from the appointment and buys herself a little time until the numbers speak for themselves. A sudden death in the intensive care unit shocks the staff, especially the young resident Rana, who is further thrown off track by Dr. Schultholz's almost heartless manner. The suspicion of medical malpractice also brings Dr. Jelinek into the picture, and there's one thing she can't afford right now: bad press. Although she wants Dina to take care of the matter, she's hoping for damage control rather than a genuine confrontation with the incident. Dr. Schultholz, meanwhile, is struggling not only with professional challenges but also with personal problems. His marriage is in disarray, he repeatedly clashes with colleagues and patients, and is particularly bothered by Dina's persistence in refusing to let the patient's death rest. Dina encounters only resistance from Dr. Schultholz and must find creative ways to open up to the withdrawn chief physician and get him to take responsibility. But he remains stubborn and refuses any kind of support. Amidst these professional challenges, Dina also has to grapple with personal problems. Her sister Kiki, who shows up unannounced at her door, disrupts her already hectic life. Daily life at the hospital and the chaos of the family merge as Dina tries to please everyone while simultaneously finding her own way. But she recognizes that professional and private life are often inextricably intertwined. The path to balance is rocky and full of challenges.
