Among the survivors, she spots a man with his little son. Nathalie wants to help, only to be sent away by a police officer whose work has turned him into a merciless man. But the refugee Zola and her son Mamadou establish contact with the German. Nathalie decides to help these people in need – against the wishes of her husband. But the money used to help the refugees flee to the mainland leads to a catastrophe that Nathalie was unable to foresee.
