Plot

Unfolding one of the 20th century's most intriguing, yet unspoken love stories, The Devil's Mistress paints a captivating portrait of Lída Baarová. A captivating Czech siren, she not only bewitched the German silver screen but also ensnared the heart of one of the most formidable figures of the Third Reich, Joseph Goebbels, the Minister of Propaganda. This biographical tale delves into the tantalizing paradox of their love. How could Goebbels, Hitler's chief ideologist, fall for a non-Aryan Slavonic beauty, a race marked as inferior by the Führer himself? How could he become entangled with a woman hailing from a nation destined to be crushed under the Nazi jackboot? Baarová, a radiant star of Europe's cinematic firmament, is equally enigmatic. She rebuffs the glittering allure of Hollywood stardom, choosing instead a perilous romance with Goebbels, a monstrous figure marred by a physical deformity. The Devil's Mistress elegantly weaves these threads of desire and danger, fame and fascism into a mesmerizing tapestry. This film provides a haunting glimpse into the black-and-white era, revealing the doomed love affair that dared to defy the horrifying realities of the Third Reich.
