Until one day she is confronted with the concrete effects of her work: the widow of an applicant who committed suicide after receiving the rejection notice appears in the insurance company to bring her to account.

She decides to quit her job, start her own business as a lawyer and represent the case of her neighbor Strelau in the fight against her old employer.
