Acclaimed entertainer Hans Schneir collapses when his beloved Marie leaves him because he won't marry her in the Catholic church. The desertion triggers a searing re-examination of his life- the loss of his sister during the war, the demands of his millionaire father and the hypocrisies of his mother, who first fought to "save" the Jews, then worked for "reconciliation" afterwards.
