Berlin in June of 1940. While Nazi propaganda celebrates the regime’s victory over France, a kitchen-cum-living room in Prenzlauer Berg is filled with grief. Anna and Otto Quangel’s son has been killed at the front. This working class couple had long believed in the ‘Führer’ and followed him willingly, but now they realise that his promises are nothing but lies and deceit. They begin writing postcards as a form of resistance and in a bid to raise awareness: Stop the war machine! Kill Hitler! Putting their lives at risk, they distribute these cards in the entrances of tenement buildings and in stairwells. But the SS and the Gestapo are soon onto them, and even their neighbours pose a threat.
| violence | Moderate portrayals of violence with some details, are shown, albeit justified by context. Said portrayals of violence also include some infliction of pain and injury but are never detailed, intense or prolonged. The film contains scenes of moderate violence that include some details of bloodshed. For example, a man is punched in the face and kicked in the abdomen, causing him to bleed from the nose and mouth. In another instance, several soldiers smash their shot glasses into a prisoner's head, resulting in streams of blood on his face. As the violence is brief and depicted without strong details, the film can be permissible for a teen audience. |
| profanity | The film contains a brief utterance of the expletive "f**k", which is used by a character as an expression of anger. |
