Description: Summer, 1944: Marlene is twenty when her older cousin Eva Braun, Hitler's mistress, invites her to come and keep her company at the Fuhrer's Bavarian mountain retreat, the Berghof. There, while the Fuhrer is away, the two young women go skinny-dipping in the lakes, watch films in Hitler's private cinema, gossip, and flirt with the SS officers in the evening. A young officer falls for Marlene, and she embarks on her first love affair. During the day she applies herself to her studies in the little Tea House in the grounds of the Berghof, and it is there that she finds a radio and clandestinely listens to BBC broadcasts that make her question the world around her.
