Roman Einer Jungen Ehe

A young married couple, both actors working in Berlin before the Wall is built, hold diametrically opposed views on politics, art and citizenship. As they have vehement arguments, their marriage is in danger of breaking up. This film portrays numerous figures of contemporary German cultural and political life, including Veit Harlan, director of the notorious Nazi propaganda film Jud Süss, and Boleslaw Barlog, a famous West Berlin theatre director.
