The 28-year-old Isolde Sperling lives - together with her husband, the musician Jürgen, and their son - in Hennickendorf in the Luckenwalde district, where she is an agricultural scientist and the head of an agricultural cooperative responsible for soil improvement. But the fact that she actually goes against the laws of ecology in her work is just one example of the paradox and the real-socialist misery of everyday work that Isolde clearly has to deal with. The film is the portrait of a young and self-confident woman who, torn between personal conviction and political realities, undertakes the daily balancing act of perhaps changing something against all odds while remaining true to herself.
