The couple Adam and Eva Nymann and their 5-year-old daughter, Rose, are the typical 1997 family with twice full-time work, kindergarten and stress. Even though Adam helps at home, it is still Eva who has the main responsibility for the child and the home. One morning, when Adam has to drop Rose off at the kindergarten, they come across a serious traffic accident. In a near-death experience, Adam meets their two guardian angels. They tell him that Rose is dying, while Adam himself will die. But the angels give Adam another chance.
