As the spring of 1945 ushers in a Russian invasion of Berlin, an unnamed woman, a patriotic journalist with a global presence in her early 30s, records the tumultuous events in her diary. Her husband, Gerd, a writer and officer, is stationed at the Russian front, leaving her alone in the city. Armed with the knowledge of the Russian language, she navigates the initial days of the invasion, maintaining a precarious safety.
However, as the city is enveloped in chaos, a wave of horrific violations begins. Deciding to seize control of her destiny, she attracts the attention of a Russian major, Andreij Rybkin. In the face of his own internal military pressures, he morphs into an unlikely protector. The apartment block where she resides becomes a stage for unfolding dramas, her survival strategy raising questions about her morality. Is she a traitor with no moral compass?
The question echoes in her diary entries, "How do we continue to live?" The fate of her husband, Gerd, and the future of her diary hang in the balance, adding layers of intrigue in this gripping narrative set against the backdrop of a city under siege.
