This film depicts a love story between a Jewish Austrian journalist and a famous German actress in the backdrop of the spread of Nazism in Austria and the impending Nazi invasion of Austria.
The film starts out slow with the story going nowhere in the first half. But it picks up pace in the second half right till the tragic end. There is palpable fear and a feeling of impending doom as the two lovers try to come to terms with the impossible situation they find themselves in. The slogans of "Ein Volk, Ein Reich, Ein Fuhrer" sent a chill through my spine.
