On her deathbed, a mother blurts out a street address in Heidelberg. The information comes as a surprise to the daughter, Christiane, in her thirties and living in NY. Christiane’s early childhood in wartime Germany is a haunting mélange of blurred memories. Within these memories, a strange secret echoes. Her mother was never willing to discuss the past; all Christiane knows is that her father, a German soldier, was killed in the early years of the war. Sensing that this address might reveal more, she returns to Heidelberg, which leads to a startling discovery.
