A female friendship between Berlin and London, a war that changes everything and a new start that gives courage.
1931: fun-loving Londoner Martha thinks Berlin is a fascinating city. Homebody Annegret meets her at Alexanderplatz and together they are to run a group of young scouts in Grunewald. Although the two women could hardly be any different, they form a deep friendship, which is sorely tested by the war and Annegret’s husband. While Annegret tries to save children from deportation, Martha in London tries everything to help her friend. But then the German air attacks on London increase and the mood in Britain changes.
Full of guilt for not having done more to help her friend, Martha returns to devastated Berlin in 1945 and wants to help rebuild the city. In doing so, she not only searches for her missing friend but also for a love, who she has not been able to forget over all the years...
