An NDR film. Doctor Sophia V. is in top physical condition when her heart suddenly gives out. The anesthesiologist has just come through a stressful period: she spent three months working for Doctors Without Borders in Afghanistan. Even during her subsequent vacation in Albania, she pushed herself to the limit on challenging hikes. Back home, she continues at a breakneck pace in her new job at the German Heart Center. But then Sophia suddenly finds herself constantly exhausted and can barely stand after work. Then, during a jog, it happens: her pulse drops, her heart goes haywire. This is how Sophia becomes a patient of her new colleagues. Can they work together to find out why her heart keeps dramatically going out of rhythm?
