Clara is studying for a Ph.D in philosophy in Berlin. In this middle-class male academic environment, she feels pushed to one side. She returns to her childhood village in former East Germany for her mother's birthday, and becomes aware that a distance has grown between her and her family.

Annika Pinske grew up in Frankfurt, Germany. Parallel to her studies in philosophy and literature she worked for theatre director René Pollesch, then for the film director Maren Ade (Toni Erdmann). In 2011 she started studying film directing at the German Film- and Television Academy Berlin (DFFB).
