Hermann Simon and Clarissa Lichtbau reunite after almost 19 years when the Berlin Wall falls on November 9, 1989. They meet again by mere chance. Surrounded by celebrations, the former lovers bring each other up to date and re-establish a relationship. Hermann has become a well-known maestro and Clarissa a respected singer, but both lead solitary lives. Clarissa takes Hermann back to his birthplace, Schabbach, to revisit his brothers Ernst and Anton and extended family and friends who had stayed there. Nearby on a hill is the house of Clarissa's dreams, a mansion in ruins. Another national party uniting Germany, the 1990 World Cup championship, marks the reconstruction of this mansion as the new home for the old/new couple. From then on, life in the Hunsrück region takes its course, with new inhabitants, old and new generations interacting.
