Am Anfang war die Eifersucht (2001)

The marital crisis between Annabelle and Friedrich Schrader was barely over when Annabelle's mother Edda caused a stir with her late marriage plans. Edda has fallen in love with her rich classmate, Martin Bergmann. When he turns out to be an impostor, the excitement is great. Finally, Martin boasted that he would give Annabelle and Friedrich an interest-free loan, which they could use to finance their dream home. Because the debts incurred by buying the house weigh heavily on Friedrich's shoulders, who is not in the best position in his job as a chemist. To relieve her husband, Annabelle applies for a position as a radio presenter. She doesn't want to give Friedrich any false hope and keeps her plans a secret. The charming editor Rüdiger Wenzel gives Annabelle good chances and encourages her to take part in a training course. When Friedrich finds out, he thinks Annabelle is having an affair with windy Wenzel. The supposed infidelity of his wife burdens Friedrich so much that he provokes a scandal at his job and resigns, and to make matters worse, Friedrich's and Annabelle's son Jonas seems to be going blind due to a strange eye disease.
