The film is a portray of Nirit Ben Joseph (52) an Israeli woman who has been living in Berlin for 26 years. Moving to Berlin at the age of 25 for the love of a German partner, Nirit has since become an in-separate part of the city and is described by many as “a Berliner from Israel”. Working as an historical tour guide of the city, Nirit's most common audience are Israeli people visiting Berlin to explore the dark past of Jewish-German history. Nirit does not feel the need to belong to a greater collective, but at the same time has a complicated perspective towards her religion, nationality and tradition. The film delves into questions of national, religious and personal identity in todays multicultural world.
