SYNOPSIS:
New Year’s Eve, Berlin 1932
The once-coveted annual New Year’s Eve party in the apartment of Annaliese Bergmann— widow of the Great War; dogged upper class survivor of the seemingly endless traumas of the Weimar Republic; never-the-less determined to celebrate what has been still another harrowing year of life and near-ruin in the Deutsches Reich.
Hitler’s Nazis, trounced in the November elections, its Party membership shriveling, Der Fuhrer himself falling in popularity, with the democratically elected Weimar Reichstag barely maintaining national stability.
The once proud nation still reeling from the ravages of The Great Depression of 1929 which created massive debt, unemployment, and homelessness and left a restless German youth with little hope for their futures.
Frau Bergmann’s remaining friends warily gather to commiserate and to dare to dream that the Republic has at last prevailed over the withering threats of Stalinism to the East, the Ruhr Valley invasion by France to the West, and the National Socialists and Communists within.
