Plot
Claudia, a young woman who runs a financially strapped company specializing in art restoration, lives with her elderly grandmother, Birgit, whose pension is her primary source of income. When Birgit unexpectedly dies of natural causes, a desperate Claudia hides the corpse in a freezer and resorts to a series of elaborate deceptions to keep up the charade that her grandmother is alive so she can continue to receive pension payments. This makes her the target of Simone Recchia, an overzealous police detective specializing in fraud (and who happens to also be romantically interested in her).
