Katharina plays the hospital clown Fredda Meyer. While working at the children's hospital, she has grown fond of Moritz, a 12-year-old boy suffering from cancer. Moritz will soon die. Fredda stays and is there for the parents, the nurses, the cleaning staff, and Moritz. She jokes when no one can laugh anymore. She cries clown tears when everyone is frozen. She sings when everyone falls silent. Fredda breaks the taboos and conventions of how we deal with death.
