East Germany, 1980. Barbara Wolff is a talented young doctor who has applied for an exit visa from the GDR and is punished by losing her prestigious post in Berlin for a small pediatric hospital in the country. Though she is constantly aware of the Stasi officers chronicling her every move, she arrives at her new post having planned a series of dangerous meetings with her lover, with whom she plans to escape to Poland. Barbara suspects everyone but the patients as a potential betrayer at her new hospital. The film is a story of self-sacrifice and quiet heroism at a time and place when such values are at a premium.
