Synopsis

Autumn 1944 – The Third Reich is near to collapse and the first Allied soldiers are on German soil. Meanwhile, just outside Berlin, the cameras start rolling on one of the biggest propaganda films ever planned by the Nazis: Das Leben geht weiter – a film intended to show how the German people cope and retain their spirit through the destruction and horror of their everyday life, struggling through to the promised victory. The premiere for this film was planned for the end of June 1945, two months after the war was lost. This is the absurd and often tragic story behind the making of Das Leben geht weiter.
