Adam is a man women love, and Adam loves beautiful women, especially when they wear the dresses he makes for them. Apart from that, he loves Evelyn, who one day catches him in the act with another woman. Instead of going with Adam, Evelyn leaves for Lake Balaton with friends in the late summer of 1989, and Adam follows them in his old Wartburg. A tragicomedy on the biblical myth of Adam and Eve, set at a moment when East Germans have to decide something without knowing how history will turn out.
