Synopsis of Wo Andere Schweigen
In a compelling though uneven film, director Ralf Kirsten takes a dramatic look at a turning point in German history, 1932. In that year the German parliament fell under Nazi control, and democracy was effectively killed off. Clara Zetkin (Gudrun Okras) is the most senior member of parliament and as such will deliver the inaugural address to the new, Nazi-dominated Reichstag. The elderly communist Zetkin undergoes a dangerous journey from Moscow to Berlin as she prepares her final address. She hides in the home of a typesetter whose daughter, a nurse, is at first disengaged from the political scene. As circumstances worsen and their home is burned to the ground, as some of her friends leave for other countries and others are killed, the once passive nurse joins forces with her father to stay and fight the Nazis, and Zetkin gets ready to deliver her historic speech.
