Two psychiatrists attempt to save a suicidal man.

Ewa and Stefan Hauser, with their children Monika and Wolf, live an average middle-class life in East Berlin in 1969.

After early release and permission to relocate west, the Hausers spend decades fruitlessly searching for their lost children, only to be reunited twenty years later amid Europe’s political upheavals.
