Description: Whom do you trust, whom do you love, and who can be saved? At the height of World War II, Berlin has become a city of women. Sigrid Schröder, the model German soldier's wife, goes to work every day, does her best with her rations, cares for her meddling mother-in-law, and ignores the horrors of the regime. But behind this façade Sigrid dreams of her lover, lost in the chaos of war. Her lover is a Jew. And Sigrid is not the only one with secrets.
