GDR 1980. Barbara, a doctor, is transferred out into the country for disciplinary reasons because she has made an application to emigrate. Jörg, her lover from the West, is working on plans for her escape. Barbara waits. Her new environment does not seem to affect her. Attentive towards her patients, keeping a distance from her colleagues, she works in the pediatric surgery. Her new boss Andre confuses her. His confidence in her professional abilities, his care, his smile. Has he been set on to her? Is he in love? Barbara begins to lose control, over herself, over her plans, over love. The day of her planned escape is imminent. A thrilling and emotionally told film.
