A big secret connects the Takma and Steyn de Weert families. Long ago, when they still lived in the Indies, a mysterious murder was committed, which no one wants to talk about. The ancient Lord Takma seals their silence with his daily visit to Ottilie's mother. They hope to take their secret to the grave, but if Ottilie's son wants to get married, it can no longer be hidden. Only then does it become clear how much the terrible event from the past still connects people and that the things of the past have not yet passed.
