A powerful drama tracing three generations of a family, from a surreal memory of World War II to modern day Berlin, unable to process their past in a society still coping with wounds of its history.

In the first part of this triptych, a baby called Eva miraculously manages to survive Auschwitz. The pain and stigma that trickles from Eva, to Lena and then Jonas is inexpressible, yet rendered with striking imagery by Kornél Mundruczó.

In the next part, Léna opposes the Jewish survival mentality. The drama ends with the love story of Jonas, the teenage grandson, who is in love with Yasmin in present-day Berlin.
