action
Paul Kromberger finds the picture of the singer Caterina Fabiani on the Internet, who looks very similar to his wife Evelyn, who died a year earlier. Because he often dreams of his wife, he sends his daughter Sophie to New York , where Caterina appears at the opera, to find out whether there are any family ties to her. At first, Caterina is harshly dismissive. With the help of Caterina's agent Philip, Sophie is able to locate and visit Caterina's mother, Rosa, in an old people's home. After the visit, the demented Rosa is completely excited and refuses to eat. Then Caterina gives up her negative attitude.
It gradually comes out that Evelyn was pregnant before her marriage to Paul. He requested that she abort the child as he was not the father. Evelyn pretended to be doing vocal training in Rome while Paul stayed in Germany and secretly gave birth to Caterina. Rosa then raised the child as her daughter. Evelyn returned to Germany, married Paul and had a daughter Sophie. Philip and Sophie fall in love on their New York trip. She manages to get Caterina to travel to Germany to meet Paul and with Sophie's help she finally wants to find out who her father is. With Orlov they are initially on the wrong track. Ralf, Paul's brother, who secretly met Evelyn for years and wrote letters, is Caterina's father. This is a shock at first, but eventually everyone is sitting at the same table and drinking to the past and the future.
criticism
The film service ruled that von Trotta took on the "sister theme of her earlier films" and spun it out with "borrowings from ghost and doppelganger motifs and an investigative plot for the family drama".
