Plot

In the melancholic aftermath of World War I, "Isn't Life Wonderful" traces the poignant journey of a Polish professor and his family, now refugees seeking survival in the shadow of Germany's Great Inflation. Amidst the rubble of a Berlin bruised by depression, young Inga, a Polish war orphan, emerges as a beacon of hope. Taken in by the professor's family, she embarks on a relentless struggle to provide for her new kin, while carefully nurturing a modest dowry from the scarce resources around her. Inga's existence intertwines with Paul, a soldier returning home, his strength sapped by the poisonous gases of the battlefront. Their love story blooms like a secret garden, meticulously tended by Paul, hidden amidst the chaos. This garden becomes their shared dream, a symbol of optimism they hope will yield the means for their future together. But as the family grapples with the harsh realities of their new homeland, the political and economic deterioration of the country begins to gnaw at their resilience. A seemingly promising start soon succumbs to the pressure, testing their will to survive and their faith in the promise of a better tomorrow. "Isn't Life Wonderful" is a touching tale of love, survival, and resilience that explores the human spirit's capacity to find hope amidst despair, offering a captivating glimpse into a grim chapter of history.
