Heimat 3: A Chronicle of Endings and Beginnings

On the evening of that historic day, November 9, 1989, Hermann Simon and Clarissa Lichtblau meet again after many years. In the lobby of a Berlin hotel, the former lovers fall into each other's arms. Hermann has become a renowned conductor and Clarissa a celebrated singer.

The housewarming party also coincides with the opening match of the World Cup. Shortly afterwards, Gunnar embarks on a dream career in Berlin as a “wall breaker” and wants to use his newfound wealth to win back his ex-wife Petra. Hermann and Clarissa plan to take a year off so they can finally be together in their house. Meanwhile, Ernst, who flew to Russia in his Cessna, does not return.

The American troops have abandoned Hahn military airport. Now Russian-speaking people in need of assistance are moving into their quarters. At the same time, Ernst returns unexpectedly from Russia. Hermann's daughter Lulu also appears unexpectedly after a long time, accompanied by two friends. One evening, the three of them celebrate Lulu passing her architecture exam.
