Plot

In the heart of the 1930s, John Halder, a German literature professor, navigates the turbulent currents of his personal life, juggling the demands of a neurotic wife, two insistent children, and a mother trapped in the fog of senile dementia. As a refuge, Halder delves into his writing, penning a novel that explores the delicate theme of compassionate euthanasia. His literary work, intended as an intimate exploration of his personal struggles, unexpectedly finds itself in the spotlight, championed by influential political figures as a tool for government propaganda. Driven by the unanticipated momentum, Halder finds himself caught in a whirlpool of rising nationalism and prosperity, his career soaring on the wings of an optimistic future. However, his newfound success does not come without a price. Torn between his loyalties and evolving beliefs, Halder's reluctance to accept the ideologies of the Nazi Party begins to waver. A cascade of seemingly inconsequential decisions leads him down a treacherous path, each choice paving the way for another, each step drawing him away from his moral compass. Amid the chaos, the voices of his wife, mother, mistress, and a Jewish friend echo in Halder's conscience, each pulling him into different emotional directions. Struggling to maintain his 'good' and decent identity, he becomes a silent participant in a game of devastating consequences. As Halder spirals deeper into the political vortex, the line between right and wrong blurs, and his life transforms into a haunting reflection of his times. Treading the fine line between personal obligations and political convictions, Good (2008) is a riveting exploration of a man’s journey through a world where choices can lead to unforeseen and devastating consequences.
