Martin Schulz, a former citizen of East Germany, is released from Brandenburg Prison after serving an 11-year sentence. Within those 11 years, Germany has reunited and Martin only knows the world waiting for him outside the prison from what he has seen on television. A new era was beginning but the old one hadn’t yet disappeared.
