Hairdresser Rosi Fröhlich is about to lose everything, her beloved salon is closing, and with it, her life's work. Her twin sister Gabi shows up unannounced, once a celebrated East German pop star, now mostly forgotten. Years of envy, hurt pride, and old arguments come rushing back, and it's not long before old wounds reopen. One question hangs over everything: what does Gabi have that Rosi doesn't? Set to a mix of familiar hits and brand-new songs, the sisters sing, fight, and laugh their way through a past neither of them ever let go of.
