A journey of three generations of women living on one farm that Wendi, the (grand)mother, inherited from her uncle, Hitler’s first foreign minister and senior SS officer. The film is a feminine personal portrait of a German aristocratic family who used their privileged position to save Jews from a concentration camp that was erected on their land. The three women are not afraid to confront the difficult past of their family in an attempt to safeguard a peaceful future.
