A Berlin born story. The city fools you with its liberated outlook, then gives you a slap in the face when in intimate relationships, only to find out that things still aren't different then in the dark days of the past, when women had take responsibility for not only their actions, but also men’s, and had to bare the consequences all on their own.

Director's notes
A Berlin born little story... The city which fools you with its liberated outlook, tends to give you a slap in the face when you get into intimate relationships, only to find out that things still aren't so different then they were in the dark days of the past, when women had take responsibility for not only their actions, but also men’s, and had to bare the consequences all on their own...
The film is calling the audience to remember that women's right to their own body, right to abortion and the (intersectional) feminist struggle are unfortunately and absolutely not issues of the past, but very present and burning issues and that not only women, but everyone should stay in solidarity.
