Inspired by the real-life story of Stella Goldschlag, a Jewish woman in Berlin, this film delivers a haunting portrait of survival, identity, and moral compromise. Spanning from the pre-war years to her death in the 1990s, the narrative follows Stella’s transformation — from a jazz singer to a resistance fighter, and ultimately a collaborator with the Gestapo.
Desperate to avoid deportation to Auschwitz and to outlast the war, she makes choices that challenge the very core of human morality. The film doesn’t shy away from asking difficult questions: How far would we go to survive? Is preserving one’s own life worth the sacrifice of others?
By confronting these unsettling dilemmas head-on, the film becomes more than just a biopic — it’s a thought-provoking masterpiece that lingers in the mind long after the credits roll.
