Berlino, anni '80. Il muro domina la città. Mark, ex agente spionistico, torna a casa dopo l'ultima missione. Il rapporto con la moglie Anna si deteriora. Mark indaga, sospettando un tradimento. Scopre che oltre a un amante "ufficiale", Heinrich, Anna vive una seconda vita con un mistero che non vuole svelare, e che, lentamente, la trascina in un climax di violenza e follia che le fa dimenticare ogni cosa: il figlio Bob, i suoi uomini, la vita stessa.
