June 17th 1953, Frida’s 8th birthday, was supposed to be a day of celebration instead, tanks are rolling through the streets of East-Berlin. Frida and her mother are waiting for the birthday guests, but they won’t come nor will her father return from the demonstration. Frida’s mother slowly begins to lose control. Outside, protests turn into a political revolt. The relationship between mother and child changes, the natural laws of responsibility and protection of the strong over the weak seems no longer to be in force.
