Heinrich Müller
Em 20 de janeiro de 1942, representantes de alto escalão do regime nazista alemão se reuniram em uma idílica vila no Great Wannsee, no sudoeste de Berlim, para uma reunião que ficou para a história como a Conferência de Wannsee, por causa de seu alcance, fatalidade e consequências, talvez a conferência mais terrível da história humana. Eles foram convidados por Reinhard Heydrich, chefe da polícia de segurança nazista, para planejar o assassinato em massa sistemático de milhões de judeus em toda a Europa.
Petr
Liza is a sophisticated woman who lives in a ‘high class world’. Her husband Peter speaks Russian with a German accent, he owns a chocolate factory.

Hans
It is a story about the Soviet worker Pyotr and the German engineer Hans, who came to the USSR before the war on a business trip. At a Soviet plant the German team works in cooperation with Russian specialists. Once Hans makes a mistake which causes the explosion of the furnace and human losses. Hans finds himself at the mercy of Pyotr, the only witness to his actions near the furnace. Pyotr also depends on Hans, because Pyotr’s very presence near the furnace entails accusation of subversive actions and a death sentence. Mutual suspicion gives way to silent sympathy and later friendship. They even look like each other, both have small children. Pyotr secretly leaves the town with his family but Hans feels loss rather that relief at the disappearance of the embarrassing witness.
Arnolt
During an unannounced visit to Berlin, Jakob and Hanna let their three grown up children know that they are no longer able to support them financially. Karla, Arnolt and Sonni seem to live successful city lives; but, on closer inspection, they are in the middle of different life-crises, which have a common cause: lack of independence. After a big family quarrel and a painful revelation of life-lies, every single relative is made aware of how little he or she knows about the others – though still interdependent.
