Three women, three generations – one trauma.
Lilo, a young goldsmith, has always had a strained relationship with her mother, Monika, and knows almost nothing about their family’s past. But when a mysterious letter surfaces, revealing a connection to her grandmother Agnes, Lilo begins asking questions. The tension between mother and daughter quickly escalates, and Monika finally bursts out, “Your grandmother destroyed my life!” Stunned by this revelation, Lilo becomes determined to uncover the truth. She soon discovers that Agnes had been imprisoned after the war – her own grandmother, a convicted murderer. But then Lilo uncovers a truth that changes everything.
After years of waiting, Agnes was hopeful when her husband, Walter, returned from war. But he was no longer the man she remembered. Tormented by nightmares and distant, he became cold and controlling. Agnes found comfort in her work at the French occupation administration, where she met Etienne Montard, who brought joy back into her life. But after the birth of their daughter, Monika, she slipped into isolation again. When one of Walter’s former comrades visited, Agnes overheard something that made her question his war record. Could Walter have been involved in atrocities? Fearful and desperate, Agnes struggled to escape the truth.
