Berlin, 1933: Hulda works as a dedicated midwife in her local neighborhood of Schöneberg. Yet, the daily lives of the people around her are becoming increasingly stifled by the rapid radicalization of society and rising antisemitism.

Looking for a brief escape, Hulda takes her daughter to a traveling funfair near the Königskolonnaden. There, among candy canes, raffle tickets, a massive Ferris wheel, and the brightly painted backdrops of the roller coaster, a world of joy awaits.

But beneath the surface, dark abysses open up. Between the shooting galleries and merry-go-rounds, Hulda crosses paths with a terrified woman from a family of showfolk. Before long, she finds herself tracking a sinister secret where life and death hang in the balance. Meanwhile, Inspector Irma Siegel is fighting against the clock in a high-stakes kidnapping case. By the time she and Hulda realize how their paths intertwine, it is almost too late - and Hulda is forced to learn which of her friends she can still truly trust.
