Rita Vogt is seduced into the terrorist movement through her sense of justice and her love for Andi. Years later, realizing the movement is falling apart, she goes underground, hiding out in East Germany. With the help of a Stasi agent named Erwin Hull, she assumes a new identity amidst the everyday world of the working class. As much as she wants to fit in, her young co-worker Tatjana wants to get out, to escape to the west.
