En décembre 1917, à la prison de Wronke, Rosa Luxembourg se souvient : 1906, déjà en prison, à Varsovie, l'exécution d'hommes dans la cour, son propre interrogatoire. 1899, Berlin : ses retrouvailles avec Léo Jogiches, son camarade de combat, son compagnon dans la vie. Lors de la soirée du jour de l'an, elle le présente aux dirigeants de la social-démocratie August Bebel, Karl Kautsky, mais évite le révisionniste Bernstein. 1910, Berlin : après une longue période d'activité révolutionnaire coupée d'emprisonnements en Pologne et en Allemagne, elle retrouve son amie Luise Kautsky. Puis, Léo arrive de Varsovie. Meetings et discussions théoriques de plus en plus vives s'enchaînent. L'amour et la politique s'emmêlent...

Follows a woman, Lotte, who travels through Germany and seeks human connections, but is unsuccessful as every person she encounters is locked into his own world. Based on the play by Botho Strauß.

Since childhood, Raquel and Maria have been close friends. Now all grown-up, Raquel has fulfilled her dream of becoming an actress, while Maria has married a handyman, given birth to three children and runs the family household. In the wake of the Argentine military coup of 1976, Maria's oldest son Carlos is abducted. Desperate, Maria turns to her prominent friend for help. Yet the more Raquel gets involved in the search for Carlos, the more she becomes herself a target of the junta. Finally, she flees from Argentina to Berlin. Meanwhile Maria joins a group of women who investigate the fate of their disappeared relatives. In 1983, after the fall of the dictatorship, the two friends meet again.
