Verena Boos combines great storytelling talent with historical precision. For the young Spaniard Maite, studying in Munich is primarily an opportunity to escape her conservative family home. Her hometown Valencia, famous for its trade in flawless oranges, is gradually becoming foreign to her. She falls in love with Carlos, who comes from a German-Spanish family, and befriends his grandfather Antonio. The old emigrant shares stories of unheard events but does not reveal everything. One day, the listener becomes a questioner: How did her father end up in a German uniform?
