18-year-old Kai is starting his training to become a police officer, while 16-year-old Sandra will move into a home for people with cognitive disabilities. Sandra, in particular, is finding it hard to leave. Like her fellow foster children, she has grown very attached to Susanne, whom she calls Mama. Susanne, too, is finding it's not easy to let go.
