Synopsis

Why does a woman abandon her little boy in a train station at the end of the war in 1945? Helene has Jewish origins and experiences her transition to adulthood, as well as love, in Berlin during the war. The twists of fate and a marriage of convenience will gradually deprive her of her own identity.

The film adaptation of Julia Franck's bestseller.
