Just as if we were walking in a beautiful garden holding hands, but our feet were bloody from the thorns and shards of glass, yet each of us smiled at the other to hide our feelings of pain." *** "Yulia," a fifty-year-old German woman, is shocked by the decision of her husband, "Adel," of Moroccan origins, Separating from her after twenty-five years of their marriage, she tries to get him back and understand the reasons for his decision, without knowing that her husband is living a love story with "Juri," a Syrian refugee who came to Germany escaping the scourge of war, and in whom Adel found the image of the oriental woman he used to love.
