Gregor ist Musiker und mag sein Leben - solange er sich nicht vor seiner Mutter rechtfertigen muss. Schon lange hat er die Hoffnung aufgegeben, für die erfolgreiche Galeristin einmal mehr zu sein als ihr etwas minderbemittelter Sohn. Eine radikale Verschlechterung von Irènes Gesundheit zwingt Gregor dazu, den Schatten seiner Mutter zu verlassen und über seinen eigenen zu springen.
Gregor is a musician and likes his life - as long as he doesn´t have to explain himself to his mother Irène. Long ago he gave up hope of being more than a less well-off son for the successful gallerist. A radical deterioration of Irènes health status is forcing Gregor to leave his mother´s shadow and jump over his own.
