Charlotte
Charlotte returns to Berlin after having lived in New

connection to the comfortable life with the people
she once knew. Along the way, armed only with an
evening dress and five Euros, she tries to find the life
that she once had. Eventually, Charlotte has to learn
that she can neither escape her past nor determine
her future.
