A young woman called Fiona shows up in a town in the Ruhr Valley to be employed by the Bauer family as a housekeeper. Father, mother, daughter and son all lead separate lives. There is no communication between them. No one notices it, but Fiona has made a decision. Only a neighbour is worried.

TOTEM introduces the daily life of a family that is being brought into disarray by the appearance of a stranger.
