Inspired a song that was extremely popular with the German soldiers during WW II, this fictional story begins in 1938 while Wilkie Bunterberg (Hanna Schygulla), a third-tier cabaret singer, performs in a Zurich nightclub. It is her boyfriend, a Swiss Jew who also turns out to be a resistance fighter who pens her the famous song Lili Marleen. She sings it in Germany and it becomes a hit with the German troops. As a result, Hitler himself invites her to perform for him. This does not set well with the songwriter's powerful who, upon learning that Marleen has become a famed singer in Germany, seek to have her barred from Switzerland. This does not stop the songwriter from loving her though and desperate to see her one last time, he sneaks into Berlin for a tryst. Unfortuantely he is arrested and she gets blacklisted. They do not see each other again until after the war. By this time, their lives have changed considerably. (oficjalny tekst dystrybutora)

angielski Here we have the illustrious Rainer Werner Fassbinder making almost a biography. But he wouldn't him if it could be done without causing any damage to follow, so I revel in Schygulla's unjustified performance and nonsensical appearance (god the 1980s makeup, ouch) and wring my hands over everything else. This is not the way forward, regardless of the pseudo trilogy next to this solitary works. ()
