β¦ Synopsis
November 1941. John Russell is living in Berlin, tied to the increasingly alien city by his love for two Berliners: his thirteen-year-old son, Paul, and his actress girlfriend, Effi.
One of a dwindling handful of much-censored journalists, Russell finds himself pushed into serving as a point of contact between the anti-Nazi Abwehr and American intelligence. But his real work, as he now sees it, revolves around one crucial question -- what fate awaits those Berliner Jews who are now being shipped to the East?
