This documentary explores the fruitful but complex relationship between the Jews and German music. The title of the film is taken from a poem written by a 12-year-old girl, Eva Pickova, in the Theresienstadt concentration camp. This is a film about freedom and captivity, about emancipation, acculturation and assimilation; about the roles played by Moses and Felix Mendelssohn in the dream of fruitful, unproblematic integration of the Jews into German society after their liberation from the ghettos; about Richard Wagner. But, most of all, it is a film about the great importance of music to people, especially in the direst circumstances.
