East Berlin, summer 1990: Shortly before the end of the German Democratic Republic (GDR), the committed socialist Christiane Kerner falls into a coma because she observes her son Alexander being arrested during an anti-GDR demonstration. Months later, she awakens, and because her weak heart is in explicit need of care, she is not to learn anything of the dramatic innovations with the demise of the GDR. Alex, supported by his sister Ariane and his work colleague Denis, arranges everything in the already newly styled apartment again according to GDR "chic" and makes sure that nothing in the field of vision of the person in need of care betrays the changes.
