To their German home, crowded with immigrants, rooted in the light and the warmth of the green tropic in Caracas, 1.957. The day she discovers the photo of her younger father, in an SS uniform, her life changes. The way she looks at the world changes too. She becomes a spy in her own home. She listens. She doubts.
