Brilliant playwright, Lisa, no longer writes  She lives in Switzerland with her family but her heart has stayed in Berlin, beating to the rhythm of her brothers heart  The ties between the twins have grown stronger since Sven was diagnosed with an aggressive type of leukemia  Hes a famous theater actor and Lisa refuses to accept his fate, moving heaven and earth to get him back on stage  She gives her all for her soul mate, neglecting everything else, even risking her marriage  Her relationship with her husband starts to fall apart, but Lisa only has eyes forher brother, her mirror, who connects her back with her deepest aspirations and rekindles her desire to create, to feel alive
