[3] The film tells the story of twin German sisters Lotte (Thekla Reuten) and Anna (Nadja Uhl), who are separated when they are six.

Lotte falls in love with a young Jewish man whom the Nazis eventually catch while they are in Amsterdam together and sent to an extermination camp where he is murdered.

Anna falls in love and marries a young Wehrmacht soldier who joins the Waffen SS and is killed in the last days of the war.

Only in old age, when they meet again at a spa, do they reconcile and put aside their divergent lives and reclaim the tender sibling feeling of her childhood.
