This movie tells the life stories of two women - Jewish and German. The war affected lives of both – they had to change their homes as well as their citizenship. The present is mixed with the past, current shots with unique archival films. Reminiscences in motion cut through the historical events of the 20th century. Isa was born in India, grew up in the Czech borderland, lives in Italy and considers herself European. After sixty years, she visited „the house with the green roof“. Her family was forced out of the home due to their German citizenship in 1945. Isa encounters a city of different appearance than preserved in her memory. The city was called Reichenberg then, and was inhabited predominantly by Germans. Edith survived the war in exile in Britain. Before the Nazi occupation, she belonged to the Jewish community in Liberec of 1400 people. Only 37 people returned from concentration camps. Edita still remembers life in the local synagogue which burned down during Kristallnacht in November 1938. For decades, a parking lot was placed in its stead. Today, a modern library stands there in symbiosis with a Jewish prayer room. The film portrays two different personalities. Both women listen to each other's experiences and feelings. Gradually, they overcome distrust and their own prejudices. Isa and Edita find courage for a difficult friendship. Copyright © 2009 by Blanka Závitkovská

I find that sometimes I'm able to control a dream and sometimes I'm able to direct myself before I go into sleep to dream about a certain subject. And sometimes not.
