However Alexander does not respond well to her increasingly strict and regimented approach and simultaneously her personal life is collapsing. She is invited to join a quintet by her colleague and lover Christian but is reluctant to perform in concert and her eventual participation leads to an exceptionally embarrassing experience. Anna is pushed over the edge and doubles down on Alexander. Come the day of his exam events take a tragic turn.
