German drama written and directed by Helma Sanders-Brahms charting
a couple's relationship before, during and after the outbreak of
the Second World War. After marrying his pregnant girlfriend Lene
(Eva Mattes) the day before war breaks out, Hans (Ernst Jacobi) is
conscripted to fight for his country in the Nazi army. Now alone in
Berlin, Lene gives birth to their daugher Anna (Anna Sanders) but
becomes increasingly frustrated with her absent husband's minimal
visits home while on leave. After her house is destroyed during the
frequent air raids, Lene takes Anna and leaves the capital to join
her family in the countryside. Struggling to provide for her
daughter, Lene is relieved when she is again reunited with Hans
following the end of the war, but in its aftermath, the couple find
it difficult to rekindle their love for one another.
