The film tells the story of Rita, a young and idealistic woman, and her relationship with Manfred, a disillusioned older chemist. As political and social pressures mount, their love story becomes a metaphor for the divided nation. Rita’s struggle to reconcile her personal ambitions with the realities of socialist society, and Manfred’s decision to flee to the West, reflect the broader ideological divide tearing at the fabric of German life.
