Synopsis: Albert and Marta, both in their late 70s, live across the street from one another in a bustling section of Berlin's Mitte. Every day, the two neighbors meet - each in their perspective windows - at nine am to watch the world unfold below them. One morning, the clock strikes nine but there is no sign of Albert. Tapping into a well of courage, Marta crosses social and personal boundaries and makes a trip to the other side of the street. What she finds there, unleashes a youthful energy within herself. With this newfound strength, she comforts and surprises her dear neighbor and friend.
