At the height of World War II, Berlin has become a city of women.

But behind this façade Sigrid dreams of her lover, lost in the chaos of war. Her lover is a Jew. And Sigrid is not the only one with secrets.

With the men taken by the army, Berlin has become a city of women. And while her husband fights on the Eastern Front, Sigrid Schroder is, for all intents and purposes, the model soldier's wife: she goes to work every day, does as much with her rations as she can, and dutifully cares for her meddling mother-in-law. But behind this facade is an entirely different Sigrid, a woman who dreams of her former Jewish lover, who is now lost in the chaos of the war.

Now she must make terrifying choices that could cost her everything."
