This Eva is in the next part the mother of Léna, who resists the Jewish survival mentality. The drama ends with the love story of Jonas, the teenage grandson who falls in love with Yasmin in present-day Berlin. The pain and stigma are passed on from generation to generation, from Eva to Léna to Jonas.
