Six young people in search of themselves during the year 2021. They are from here and elsewhere. A passion for theater unites them; they work on plays by the German playwright, director, writer, and poet, author of The Threepenny Opera, Bertolt Brecht. Yet history captivates them. It has turned the life of one of them upside down; it worries the others. This dull anxiety is called war. Yet the desire remains to look to the future at all costs, in words or music.

Summer 1900, in the heart of a valley in southern Switzerland. Elisabeth, 17, is about to take her vows after five years in a convent. The sudden death of her sister forces her to return to the family farm to assume her new role as eldest child. Elisabeth quickly finds herself suffocated by this life of labor and obsessed by the mysteries surrounding her sister's disappearance. She then seeks to free herself from her status and her new commitments.
