A multigenerational historical epic that uses a single house and plot of land as a lens through which to examine seven decades of German trauma, displacement, and transformation.

A plot of land, a house by the lake, its changing inhabitants. This one plot of land reflects 70 years of German history from Weimar, the Nazis, the war, the Soviet occupation and reconstruction to the fall of the GDR.
