In February 1943, the NS regime declared Berlin "Jew-free," but 7000 Jews had already gone underground. Despite the horrors of war, almost 1700 Jews survived in Berlin. The film tells the stories of four Jewish survivors, including Hanni Lévy, a 17-year-old who lost her parents and used her blonde hair to evade pursuers. Cioma Schönhaus forged passports, saving dozens of lives, while Eugen Friede joined a resistance group and Ruth Arndt pretended to be a war widow to serve black-market food to an NS officer. The film combines dramatic re-enactments with interviews with the real people whose lives inspired the story, creating an intense and emotionally moving feature film.
