"My parents were never a couple." Even before Carlotta Kittel was born, her parents had already separated. She grew up with her mother and occasionally visited her father. As a child, she somehow came to terms with this situation. But this 'somehow' is not a situation that Carlotta Kittel wants to settle for today. She interviews her parents separately and then confronts each of them with the views of the other. Step by step, question by question, the story of a childhood and a family that never existed unfolds. It is about contradictions, long-suppressed feelings and questions that were never asked.
