Sara walks through the room, opens the balcony door, and steps outside. The spacious courtyard lies in complete silence. The cold neon light from the hallway casts its glow on the trees and lawn. Her hands rest on the concrete railing. Again, the flood of images. Heinrich, the husband, John, the lover, her; throughout all the years. The children. The work. Confusion. Her past feels like an absurd foreign land. Back. Further back. To the beginning. Sara's life story is the tale of a great, unfulfilled love. The story of a woman caught between two men. Triggered by a night of passion in the Vosges, Sara reflects on her life during the turn of the year 1987/88, recalling the 1960s, 70s, and 80s. For over ten years, Sara lives with her husband Heinrich and her lover John. She tries to shape her life in such a way that she does not have to give up either of them, as she receives something from each.
