Carola Weber is shocked when her husband Jochen introduces his new colleague from the hospital: she knows this voice. Hearing it catapults Carola back to the worst time of her life, her imprisonment in the GDR women's prison Hoheneck. She is convinced that Prof. Wolfgang Limberg was the doctor who treated her there with psychotropic drugs in order to force her to testify, and thus caused her to lose two fingers while working on the conveyor belt. Carola's career as a pianist was over forever.
