When successful archaeologist Ursula Scheuer makes a sensational discovery of a body during a bog excavation, her demented mother suddenly dies. Unexpectedly, a childhood trauma breaks out for Ursula. The appearance of her new assistant Mel is also puzzling: she seems to know Ursula’s past very well. Ursula is increasingly drawn into a mysterious web of fantasies and deceptions and must finally free herself from it.

Using diary excerpts, photographs and memories from companions, the film paints the portrait of the artist Jürgen Baldiga who sensitively and authentically captured the West Berlin queer scene of the 1980s and early 1990s with his camera.
