Logline
An award-winning romantic drama starring Barbara Sukowa, directed like a suspenseful thriller.
The outside world knows Nina just as the nice neighbor across the hall, but Madeleine knows her as the love of her life. The two women have had a secret relationship for years; they dream of starting a new life together in Rome. Madeleine, however, can't bring herself to tell her family. Her adult children see in her the self-sacrificing widow who is in mourning over her late husband. Thus the outside world remains oblivious to the romance between the two women, and sneaking across the hallway from one apartment to the other is something they do on a daily basis. One day, however, an unexpected incident causes the doors to remain closed. Nina must risk everything to get to Madeleine.
