Major events in modern history told by two distinguished journalists. During an official visit of French president François Mitterand to Poland in 1989, two journalists meet and fall in love: a French woman, Mémona Hintermann, who was working as a reporter for France 3 and a German named Lutz Krusche, foreign correspondent for Der Spiegel. This is their story, a story of two remarkable, eventful lives. Born to a desperately poor family living on Reunion Island, Mémona made her way up to the top ranks of international journalism. After witnessing the end of Nazism, Lutz' family flees from the Red Army on foot in the snow and descends into poverty. Mémona and Lutz soon discover they have in common a harsh and desperate struggle to survive, whose success is due to strong hope, belief in one's own capacities and faith in God. Mémona pulls Lutz out of depression following his daughter's tragic death and recounts the behind the scenes events of his famous news stories from all over the world. Lutz documents his career with humour, his mesmerizing discovery of France and his ascent from a tiny German newspaper to the highest levels of international journalism. This two obsessive reporters speak of the weaknesses of the powerful, whom they have all met, and the quiet strengths of the average man.
