Respect for the rights of others, that is peace. Eva's hitherto beautiful childhood changes abruptly when the six-year-old girl loses her parents in an accident. She grows up for a few years with her grandmother and an aunt, where she experiences her first bullying. Then her aunt marries and brings the eleven-year-old child to Hamburg.

She flees to Kenya, takes on her middle name, Julia, gets a job as an au pair, but the past catches up with her ten years later.
