In 1999, it’s the year of the German capital’s removal. Karl and Karla spend their last summer together, a German summer, gloomy and melancholy, but at the same time bright and dazzling. While they are traveling through cities and landscape, in order to find the appropriate words for all what is still left to say, the film is tracing the historical and political dimensions, which display themselves in the old capital Bonn and the tensely pushed construction of Berlin.
