Everything changes when Suse’s boyfriend Matthias escapes the GDR with her best friend Susanne. The year is 1987, both just turned twenty and their life that was actually just beginning is brutally disrupted. The escape fails. Matthias and Susanne get arrested and Suse is left behind on her own. It‘s not until sixteen years later that the three of them are finally ready to see each other again. They return to the places of their past. The film shows how Matthias and Susanne walk through the frontier forest in Czechia. How Susanne stands in her former prison cell, how the three of them slowly retrieve their unequal lives and how painful the memory even after twenty years still is. It shows how friendship turned into deep distrust. “What can one possibly say in a moment like this?” Matthias asks his former friends on their reunion. They have turned into strangers in the meantime – leaving just the little rest of collective past to connect their lives.
