The story of a Leipzig family from 1987 until the Monday demonstrations in 1989, when the daughter joins the resistance movement around St. Nicholas' Church after the death of her father, a high-ranking police officer. Phenomena such as obedience, hanger-onism, spying and resistance are illustrated in this haunting film adaptation using individual persons. A film that gives food for thought to the discussion about the fall of the Berlin Wall and recapitulates contemporary history.
