What the parents escape, the children seek out . . .
Germany, 1972. A young woman, Sophia, awakes in her new apartment. She is leaving her past, with all its troubles and traumas behind. Life seems full of possibility. At work her boss has given her new responsibilities; here, Dieter appears as interested in her as she is in him; untouched since the war the flat, like her life, seems ripe for renewal. She awakes, full of these promises, and looking across the room sees written on the morning condensation of the inside window one word - Rage.
