Description

A confrontation with the years of German division. End of August 1961: In a small hospital room, Rita Seidel awakens from her faint. And with the awakening, the past also comes alive again. There is the memory of the industrial accident and, above all, the memory of Manfred Herrfurth. Two years have passed since she followed the chemist to the city to begin a happy life by his side and with him. When did the separation begin? Did she overlook the first signs of alienation? Thinking, brooding, fevering - days and nights on end! "I'll let you know when you should come. I only live for the day when you are with me again." Manfred did not return from a chemist congress in West Berlin in the firm belief that Rita would follow him. She must make a decision that plunges her into a deep crisis.
