The Jewish sisters Helene and Martha enter the vibrant life of Berlin in the 1920s. While Martha loses herself in the wild nightlife, Helene wants to study medicine and become a doctor. She is working as a pharmacy assistant when she meets Karl, the love of her life. While they dream about a future together, the Nazi regime advances and Karl suddenly dies. Broken with grief, Helene picks herself up and meets Wilhelm, who is madly in love with her. Wilhelm helps her when he finds out her origins, but his attitude slowly changes and their views appear to differ greatly. They have a son together, whom Helene raises largely alone. Motherhood is difficult for her and denying her origins is also becoming increasingly difficult for her. When the war ends, she makes a rigorous decision.
