Nelly, a German-Jewish nightclub singer, has survived a concentration camp, but her face was disfigured by a bullet. After undergoing reconstructive surgery, Nelly emerges with a new face and her husband, Johnny, doesn't recognize her. Rather than revealing her identity, Nelly walks into a dangerous game of duplicity and disguise, as she tries to figure out if the man she loves was the one who betrayed her to the Nazis. Evoking the shadows and haunted mood of post-war Berlin, Phoenix weaves a complex tale of a nation's tragedy and of a woman's search for answers, as it builds towards an unforgettable, heart-stopping climax.
