Plot
Lissy Schroeder, a working-class girl in Berlin, marries Alfred, a clerk. In 1932, Alfred is fired by his Jewish boss. Despite having ties to the Communist party through Lissy's brother Paul, the previously apolitical Alfred joins the Nazi party. After Hitler gains power, Paul is shot by the Nazis, causing Lissy to question the country's and her husband's politics and where her loyalties truly lie.
