A German-Jewish girl becomes friends with the son of an SS officer in Argentina. The two stay friends throughout their adolescence and into adulthood.

In mid-1950s Argentina, Sulamit is the daughter of German-Jewish refugees and Friedrich is the son of German-Nazi refugees; the two are close friends as time goes by between the fall of Peron's government in 1955 and the years of prison, torture, and death in Argentina from 1976 to 1983. They grow up and go to Germany, and both get involved in the political struggles of 1968 and Friedrich, who always rejected his father's Nazi past, becomes a left-winged militant and decides to go back to Argentina to fight against the Military Government. Sulamit's love for Friedrich survives all these years, though he dedicates more time to his political commitments than to his personal feelings. But those two are destined to get together after all these years of separation and disagreements, because their love is more powerful than anything else.—Jecosta, Montevideo, Uruguay

Against the backdrop of mid-1950s Buenos Aires, Sulamit, the daughter of German-Jewish emigrants from Germany, and Friedrich, the German boy living next door whose parents fled to Argentina after the war, develop a profound bond. But, when Friedrich makes a shocking discovery about his father, he breaks off all contact with his family and goes to Germany to study. A few years later, Sulamit follows him and discovers that he has dedicated himself to the Cuban cause and the liberation struggles of Latin America, taking an active part in the German protest movement of May 1968. Now, political commitment defines Friedrich's life. Is there room for love?—Nick Riganas
