- Synopsis:
The film presents the political events surrounding the Anschluss in March of 1938 through the lives of Carola Hell (Sunnyi Melles), a popular young actress at the prestigious Theater in der Josefstadt, and Martin Hofmann (Tobias Engel), the Jewish journalist she plans to marry. When we encounter the couple in the lovely springtime weather their future is full of promise. They are determined to stay clear of politics. Yet in the climate of the time, nobody of her prominence or his religion can remain apolitical. Although Martin's journalist friend, Drechsler, calls to inform them that the Nazis plan to take over Austria soon, they concentrate on their work and their private happiness and dismiss the warnings. - Actors:
