The young lawyer Clara Andersen goes beyond all moral limits to have her father, the famous singer Carsten Andersen, declared innocent of raping her best friend Leonie Novak. The situation of the night of the crime seems to be ambiguous, because on the one hand Leonie and Carsten actually had a passionate love affair, but on the other hand the decisive word was “no”.
