Clara has made it: she has got away from her
native provincial East Germany, now living an independent life in
Berlin, teaching philosophy while finishing her Ph. D. Between her
professional ambitions, an affair with one of her students and her
demanding friendship with her thesis advisor Margot, she barely has time
for her family. When Clara visits her mother for a weekend with her
15-year-old daughter Emma, she finds herself confronted with her ideal
of an unfettered, self-determined life and the price she must pay for
it.

Rehana, an assistant professor at a medical
college, strains to combine her complex roles as a teacher, doctor,
sister, daughter, and mother. Keeping the balance between the demands of
work and family life has become a daily struggle. One evening, she
witnesses a crying student storming out of a professor’s office. Deeply
touched by this event and the actions leading up to it, Rehana’s life
starts to spiral out of control. She gradually descends into obsession,
seeking retribution, just as she receives a complaint from the school
about her 6-year-old daughter’s unusual behavior... Rehana refuses to
accept the madness of the patriarchal society she lives in. She will put
everything at stake to fight for justice - for her student, her
daughter, but also for herself.
