Berlin, 1943: The young Jewish girl Stella Goldschlag is the crush of all her classmates and dreams of a career as a jazz singer. When she suddenly has to go into hiding with her parents, her life turns into a tragedy. The family is betrayed and caught by the Gestapo. To save herself and her parents from deportation to the Auschwitz concentration camp, Stella becomes a denunciator and delivers hundreds of her Jewish brothers and sisters to the Nazi regime. Director Kilian Riedhof has filmed Stella's life based on research surrounding the court cases against the Gestapo accomplice. The true story of a gruesome yet fascinating victim-perpetrator figure and a Holocaust drama of a different kind – Paula Beer captivates with the best performance of her career.
