Long synopsis : Just before twilight a four-engined plane lands on the runway of a country airport… A lone passenger disembarks - Joe, the last survivor of a Jewish family, the Falsches. He has an appointment with them all tonight, forty years after leaving Berlin for New York in 1938. They are all waiting in the arrival lounge. The father, the mother, the kid sister, the elder brother and his wife, the aunt, all of whom perished in concentration camps. Both twin brothers, who left with him in 1938. Uncle Ruben and his wife Natalia, who went to England in 1938 and returned, after a short stay in Palestine, to die in Berlin during the reconstruction. Lilli, a young German girl, is here too; she is the daughter of a Nazi official, who was the love of Joe’s youth, and who died during the bombing of Berlin. A night of reunions beyond life and death.
