Sulamit (Celeste Cid, Julieta Vetrano), daughter of Jewish emigrants from Germany, grew up in Buenos Aires in the 1950s. Jews and Nazis, who fled Europe and were thrown together again in a foreign country, live in the immediate vicinity. As a young girl Sulamit meets Friedrich (Max Riemelt, Juan Franciso Ray), a German boy who lives with his family in the house directly opposite. Soon an unusual proximity arises between the two. When Friedrich realizes that his father was an SS functionary, he breaks with his family and goes to Germany to deal with his origins. Here he joins the student movement. Sulamit follows him and finds that his political commitment leaves no room for her love. Sulamit studies, later works as a translator and starts a relationship with the university assistant Michael (Benjamin Sadler). But her heart is in Friedrich’s heart. When he leaves Germany to join an Argentine guerrilla movement, contact breaks off and Friedrich disappears without a trace. Sulamit embarks on a quest that takes her to the heart of Patagonia.
