A young man and his wife struggling to create a good life for themselves in a new country. Based on Louise Erdrich's novel 'The Master Butchers Singing Club'.
The young lawyer Clara Andersen goes beyond all moral limits to have her father, the famous singer Carsten Andersen, declared innocent of raping her best friend Leonie Novak. The situation of the night of the crime seems to be ambiguous, because on the one hand Leonie and Carsten actually had a passionate love affair, but on the other hand the decisive word was “no”.
When Lalo is thrown off course by the sudden death of his father, he suppresses his loss with impulsive actions that disrupt his life. While he and his best friend Karla, both in their mid-twenties, queer and Black in Germany, try to shape who they want to become, they are forced to grapple with the limits of their flexibility.
