East Berlin, a few years after the fall of the Berlin Wall. Eva, a retired nurse, makes it through her day on a combination of stimulants and sleeping pills, wine and brandy.

Then her American niece, Maggie, arrives in Berlin. Eva is thrilled - Maggie is just the companion she''s been seeking. But happiness begins to slide from Eva''s grasp as Maggie''s own fierce drug addiction reveals itself.
