Herman (Ernst Stankovski) and his young wife Elisabeth (Nicole Heesters) are on their way to Kiev, where Herman (an architect) is to deliver a lecture. He takes the opportunity of his travels to the east to revisit the town he grew up in before the war. It is now part of Poland, but was formerly within the borders of Germany. His visit, and the fact that he survived some untrue allegations that he was Jewish (which caused him grave difficulty during World War II), sets off a wave of encounters, discussions and confrontations with people from his past.
