A Woman in Berlin
(Germany/Poland, 2008, 131 min., in German and Russian with English subtitles, Director: Max Faerberboeck)
This film tells a true story based on the controversial international bestseller by Anonyma published in more than 20 countries.
Set in 1945 during the Red Army invasion of Berlin. German women are victims of rape and devastation; one of them is Anonyma, a former journalist and photographer. In her desperate quest for survival, she decides to look for an officer who can protect her.
She meets Andrej, a Russian officer with whom she develops a complex relationship that forces them to remain enemies until the bitter end.
