The emotional story of an adulterous relationship between a journalist and a teacher.

In 1939, Charlotte Salomon leaves Berlin to seek refuge at her grandparents' villa in the south of France. A little later, war breaks out, and Charlotte must, besides forgetting all she left behind, deal with her grandmother's depression, and her mother's suicide. To fight despair, Charlotte starts to paint, producing over one thousand images. "Is my life real, or is it theater?" This is the title she gives her body of work, which highlights her former life in Berlin. She finds herself though her art, but in 1943 is deported to Germany and Auschwitz.

In the spring of 1981, 28 young men and women, between 20 and 25 years old, occupied a house in Winterfeldtstraße in Berlin-Schöneberg. Until the fall of 1981, they lived and worked there together: renovating the rooms, painting the facade, publishing a newspaper for the neighborhood, setting up an autonomous cultural center, and establishing a "parents' meeting" there for parents of squatters. Despite an intensive press campaign and ongoing public relations work, the house at Winterfeldtstraße 20/22 was evicted by the police on September 22, 1981. After the eviction, some squatters move in with their friends, others move into a squatted house on Potsdamer Strasse.
