Suspense
It is 1943—the height of the Second World War. With the men
taken by the army, Berlin has become a city of women. And
while her husband fights on the Eastern Front, Sigrid
Schröder is, for all intents and purposes, the model
soldier’s wife: She goes to work every day, does as much
with her rations as she can, and dutifully cares for her
meddling mother-in-law, all the while ignoring the horrific
immoralities of the regime. But behind this façade is an entirely different Sigrid, a
woman who dreams of her former Jewish lover, who is now lost
in the chaos of the war. Sigrid’s tedious existence is turned upside down when she
finds herself hiding a mother and her two young
daughters—whom she believes might be her lover’s family—and
she must make terrifying choices that could cost her everything.
