Wiesbaden, 1945
Young Hilda can hardly believe her luck. The war was over and the café U Anděla was miraculously spared. Against all odds, he and his mother want to make this family-run business with a rich tradition once again the great meeting place for eminent personalities that it was famous for before. However, the young peace will soon be tempered by the first conflicts. When a charming young woman shows up at the café
and introduces herself as her cousin Luisa, it'll make Hilda suspicious. Who is this mysterious stranger who came here from East Prussia? The growing rivalry between the two women threatens the harmonious atmosphere in the café. But Hilda and Luisa soon realise that they have something in common - a secret from the war that still terrifies them today.
