Summary:
In 1942 Berlin, LiIly Wurst was a model Aryan hausfrau with a picture
of the Fuhrer on the wall, a husband in the army, and a German motherhood
medal for bearing four sons. With this distinction came mother's helper Ulla
Schaaf, who unbeknownst to Lilly was deeply involved with the Jewish
underground. When Lilly boasted that she could "smell a Jew", Ulla tested
her by introducing her to Felice Schraderheim, aka Felice Schrader, a 20
year old Jewish woman living in hiding. The result of that meeting is a love
story whose arc is followed through recollections, documents, and archival
footage in this beautifully made documentary.
As Ulla Schaaf and others in the Jewish underground describe living in
constant fear of denunciation, they recall how Felice risked her life to
smuggle false papers. In intimate interviews, Lilly tells how their
relationship deepened until Felice revealed to her the secret of her
Judaism. Sharing a home, wedding vows, and the care of Lilly's children, in
1944 Felice chose to stay in Berlin with Lilly rather than flee to neutral
Switzerland. Later that year she was arrested by the Gestapo, never to
return.
