Lída Baarová was a star actress in Czechoslovakia, later moving to Germany to appear in the film Barcarole. There, she would be roped into the life of Joseph Goebbels and into the political lives of the Nazi Party elite.
The film largely centers around the experiences of Lída Baarová and her feelings regarding the moral dilemma of being romantically involved with a senior Nazi officer. Political and social turmoil within the early Nazi Germany are also shown, with the ending of the film featuring the events of Kristallnacht. Jewish persecution is also a feature of this film, but this is opposed by the colorful depictions of Nazi brass engaging in quaint social festivities. The film never shows crude depictions of the Holocaust, but instead shows the lighter side of the upper crust of Nazi Germany's officials.
Inner politics of Nazi Germany is also shown, with interactions between Goebbels and Adolf Hitler showing Goebbels facing repercussions by the Führer for his failings, while Baarová is blacklisted from Nazi film.
The family of Goebbels and the families of other Nazi Party members feature in this film, again adding to the personal aspect of the movie.
