Die Bertinis (1988)

Die Bertinis plot

Before the Second World War, the long-unemployed pianist Alf, son of Sicilian immigrants and conductor Giacomo Bertini, lives in humble circumstances in Barnbek with his Jewish wife Lea and their three sons. Only slowly does the terrorist and organized, systematic persecution of Jews penetrate the life of the Bertinis. Bertini only gradually becomes aware of the radical developments, because the family is not particularly religious, nor political. When the 'Nurnberg Laws' are laid down in 1935, they are increasingly intimidated and terrorized by those around them. After the first air raids on Hamburg, the Bertinis lose their home and are forced to move to the countryside near Berlin. There they first receive the family warmly, but they are soon reported and they have to return to the completely destroyed Hamburg. Until now, Leah had been spared further persecution because of the "privileged mixed marriage" with an Aryan. But if they think they'll be deported, the family has no choice but to go underground and await the end of the war.
