The story of two unequal sisters
At the beginning of May 1945, an American soldier arrives in Germany with the Allied troops. She returns to her homeland, which she left fifteen years earlier and has never set foot in again since. The famous Hollywood actress Marlene Dietrich is searching for her sister Liesel. The trail leads to the movie theater of the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp. Two unequal sisters, two lives that separate and then cross again and are connected in a special way through the medium of film.

We would like to thank Silke Ronneburg from the Deutsche Kinemathek - Marlene Dietrich Collection Berlin and RA Frieder Roth from Die Marlene Dietrich Collection GmbH in Munich as well as the Buchenwald Memorial for their kind support.
