Two women in Germany, two sisters. Marianne and Juliane fight for social change during the 60s, however their means are totally different. While Juliane makes her way as a committed journalist, Marianne joins the political underground. After Marianne is arrested and put into jail, Juliane remains her only connection to the outside world. During a holiday in Italy, Juliane learns of Marianne’s sudden death. The “official” cause of death: suicide. However, Juliane is convicted that her sister did not kill herself.
