In contemporary Berlin, Sebastian and Alicja seem to have it all—a thriving business and a loving family. But when Sebastian yearns for more freedom, their seemingly perfect life begins to unravel. Alicja, a Polish woman shaped by traditional values and social expectations, is forced to question everything she knows about love and independence. As cracks form in their relationship, she must confront her own desires and redefine her identity beyond the roles imposed on her. Trust Me is a story of transformation, vulnerability, and emotional courage, exploring how the search for freedom can destabilize, but also awaken, a long-term relationship.
