A family secret going back to the time of the German Autumn. After over 25 years Alice Rybka sees her mother again: Judith Müller lives on a small vineyard estate in Alsace with her new family and a new identity. She gave up her daughter Alice for adoption in the 1970s to join the armed struggle of the “2. June Movement”. Alice wants her mother to face her past. But Judith does not regret her actions. How far can you go for your political ideals?
