Summer 1989, shortly before the fall of the Wall. Muna lives in the GDR and is about to take her school-leaving exams when she meets Magnus, a French teacher and photographer much older than her. She spends one night with him; then he disappears. Seven years later they run into each other in Berlin by chance and become a couple. But on their very first holiday together, in Iceland, cracks appear: Muna no longer recognises Magnus, his coldness, his unpredictability, his lack of self-control. She overlooks her hurt and tells herself that things will get better, closing her eyes to the truth again and again.
