Robert, a recently widowed engineer from Cologne, decides to change his life. He invests all he has in a new business in Southeast Germany - a network of coin operated telescopes, hoping to profit from the breathtaking vistas of the Saxon "Switzerland" area of the East. Once in that region, Robert meets Christiane, who uncanningly resembles his deceased wife. Christiane is also at a crossroads. She has a secret plan to recover something of great value lost after the fall of the Berlin Wall. Robert, who is increasingly attracted to Christiane, turns out to be just the person to help her carry out her plan. Though they both believe they are constructing a good, lasting relationship, they start arguing frequently. They realize they have to overcome their past traumas in order to create the relationship they want. Is this a case of "lost and found" in a newly found land?
