Looks like we have a time jump back to when Wilhelm and Berta were together, raising two children, Little Berta and Rudolf. There were some hints at Berta's mental state, a sort of meloncholic state she was drifting into watching Rudolf fall asleep. She snapped herself out of it but it's alluding to perhaps why she's institutionalized later.

2nd read as I realized I couldn't remember anything about it. We have 2 couples?, Wilhelmine/Wilhelm, Berta/Rudolf. Rudolf apparently does not return from the war. In 1947, Wilhelm proposes to Wilhemine but gives Berta a necklace. Wilhelm is a Chauffeur. He and Wilhelmine get married in 1960, 1963, they intend to visit Berta who is in a home? They call it a fortress, and in Berta's section, Ward 66 is mentioned.
