Music movie - D 2022
Nele is a dreamer. She repeatedly escapes from her dreary everyday life into the soulful world of opera and music. The young woman, who actually comes from a small village in Estonia, struggles along almost invisibly as a multi-jobber in a large German city. She lives in a shared student flat and earns her money in a call center and as a cloakroom attendant at the State Opera. But she carries a secret from her past that keeps giving her bloody nightmares.
When she meets the street dancer and petty criminal Kolya, it is a fateful encounter for both of them, the meeting of soul mates. A symbiosis of song and dance brings them closer together. But Nele's dark past stands in the way of their budding love.
The talent manager Höllbach represents the great opera diva Adela. He is her husband, manager, bodyguard and biggest fan all in one. But Adela's career begins to falter when her voice fails her during a performance of Madame Butterfly. Höllbach then becomes aware of Nele's enormous singing talent. It seems to be Nele's big chance.
