Hannah lives with her husband, architect Martin, in West Berlin. Her mother, Malou, who died more than 10 years ago, was a Frenchwoman who converted to Judaism to marry her German husband. After 1933, the couple were forced to emigrate, so Hannah was born in Buenos Aires. Back in Germany, where she teaches immigrants, she is considered a “foreigner” and she feels alien and misunderstood. Tracing Malou’s life, Hannah searches for her own identity as she struggles with her relationship with Martin. (Berlinale)
