Daughter
There are some lessons that the 7-year-old daughter must learn before she can reach her goal. But through the strict hand of the mother, the daughter gains more and more knowledge. She has to separate herself from everything material. To become a little “specialist” from being a person of instinct. But with each lesson, the daughter understands the world around her a little more. And then, one day, she decides to put her knowledge to very practical use.

30 years ago, Juri fled the GDR for the West via the Prague embassy and built up an existence in Canada. Thirty years later, he returns to his hometown of Eisenach to take care of his demented father, a former veterinarian. He also meets his former girlfriend Katharina again, who did not follow him onto the embassy grounds back in Prague and whom he has not seen again since. Katharina has been married for years now and is the mother of a grown-up son and a teenage daughter. She helps Juri find a place for his father in a nursing home and soon feels drawn to Juri again. Juri wants to return to Canada, but since the home placement for his father fails, Juri stays in Eisenach.
