Ten-year-old Lea is looking forward to Tchaikovsky's performance of "Sleeping Beauty". Nobody can dance the princess better than her. However, the trans girl is biologically a boy for the ballet teacher Bettina and is therefore not able to play the dream role. For Lea, who makes it clear to everyone that she is no longer Leon and therefore does not dance the prince, a world collapses. When she drives home, disappointed after the rehearsal, Nora and Lars almost have an accident with the ambulance. With her intuitive nature, the doctor without a doctorate recognizes that there are more than just external abrasions in her patient. Why does Lea take care of herself too little? What role does their search for identity play? Lea's understanding parents seem overwhelmed. To help, Nora relies on expert support. Thanks to the psychotherapist Dr. Vieth, the doctor begins to understand the conflicts her insecure patient is dealing with.
