La emoción y los sentimientos no deben ser confundidos con el sentimentalismo. La emoción es antiquísima y mucho más poderosa que cualquier expresión artística. El filme observa a jóvenes parejas enfrentándose a dificultades mientras intentan trasladar sus experiencias amorosas hacia tomas de decisiones claras. Una película llena de ideas, detalles y asociaciones, escenas de ficción, imágenes documentales, materiales de archivo y música de ópera.

En su búsqueda de material histórico de partida que pudiera confrontar con sus libros, una profesora de historia inicia un viaje por el presente y el pasado. Con el comentario de un narrador sólo parcialmente presente y que se manifiesta en forma de rodilla parlante, se desgrana, en un orden experimental, un collage de múltiples fragmentos, algunos dramatizados y otros procedentes de material de archivo.

Germany in Autumn does not have a plot per se; it mixes documentary footage, along with standard movie scenes, to give the audience the mood of Germany during the late 1970s. The movie covers the two month time period during 1977 when a businessman was kidnapped, and later murdered, by the left-wing terrorists known as the RAF-Rote Armee Fraktion (Red Army Fraction). The businessman had been kidnapped in an effort to secure the release of the orginal leaders of the RAF, also known as the Baader-Meinhof gang. When the kidnapping effort and a plane hijacking effort failed, the three most prominent leaders of the RAF, Andreas Baader, Gudrun Ensslin, and Jan-Carl Raspe, all committed suicide in prison. It has become an article of faith within the left-wing community that these three were actually murdered by the state.
