About film
Four young Jewish people survive the Nazi Terror in Berlin by becoming invisible in plain sight. In February 1943, the NS regime declares the Reich's capital “free of Jews.” At this point, 7000 Jews have already succeeded in going underground. Almost 1700 will survive the horrors of the war in Berlin. The Invisibles tells four stories of these witnesses. Hanni Lévy has just turned 17, she lost both of her parents. She dyes her hair blonde, becomes invisible to her pursuers, and strolls along the Ku'damm to pass the time away. Cioma Schönhaus has gone underground and leads an adventurous life: he buys a sailboat, dines in Berlin's best restaurants, and forges passports which will save the lives of dozens of other Jews. Eugen Friede joins a resistance group and distributes antigovernment leaflets, while Ruth Arndt spends her days dreaming about a life in America, and her nights pretending to be a war widow and serving black-market delicacies in the apartment of a German officer.
Dramatized re-enactments are supplemented by interviews with people whose real-life stories inspired the film's creators.
