»Svendborg 1937«
With the rise of the Nazis, the Dinkelspiel family is forced to leave Germany in the summer of 1937 and travels to Denmark. They find refuge in Svendborg where a distant aunt reluctantly takes them in. Finding a routine in their new home proves to be a challenge, especially for their teenage daughters Ricarda and Meret. The girls start exploring the town with an old motorbike when they discover that Bertolt Brecht also currently lives in Svendborg. Though they never meet him personally, they get close with his wives and look up to them. Eventually, a relatively quiet summer takes a dangerous turn, when Ricarda suddenly decides to return to Germany on her own…
A summer in exile at the Danish coast brings life-altering changes for the Dinkelspiels.
