Irene Rakowitz, fourty-eight, is a divorced mother who lives with her two youngest children in Berlin’s Märkisches Viertel district. Her ex-husband lives in the same high-rise. Inspired by student activities in her neighbourhood, Irene has freed herself from her husband. But loud and abrasive conflict persists regarding his ongoing influence on the children. The older daughters are hateful and judgemental of their mother. In the film, Irene Rakowitz holds nothing back as she talks about why her family is falling apart, while at the same time discussing her own ambitions.
