What do you say now?

Pommer is in town!

I've never met Pommer.

- What?

Don't call him Pommer or Erich!

He was the boss at UFA.

Off you go!

Go out there on your own.

Look, that's the guy l told you about.

You've been coming to every show.

Ricci saw you.

He says you come to see me.

Is that true?

The accused pleads guilty.

I'm in love.

Didn't you read the sign?

You know what they say:

Love is blind.

So why are you staring at me?

Would you love me

if I looked like this?

You see what l mean?

Love is not blind.

And I'm 100% Kraut.

You'll get into trouble with me.

As long as I'm with you,

I don't care.

Hocus,

pocus, fidibus!

I thought you'd like this.

Anything else you want to bring up?

Breakfast or lunch?

It was the meat.

I'm not used to it anymore.

Will you come to see me again?

The Russians are showing a film

in Pankow tomorrow.

It's allied officers only,

but I know the Russian film officer.

He said I can bring you along.

What do you say?

- What do I say?

I say, "yes"!

Cigarette?

- Yes, please.

Thank you.

Sixteen of my relatives died like that.

They say I should hate you...

because you're German.

But I won't do that.

I refuse.

It's all just chance.

I could've been you,

and vice-versa.

They don't want us to think that way.

But they're wrong.

I know they're wrong.

I was at Dachau concentration camp.

The day they opened the gates...

I've seen enough.

Enough.

We are the survivors.

That is a gift.

We mustn't throw it away.

I won't throw anything away.

Hold me tight.

As if we hadn't suffered enough!

What he did is a disgrace.

You mustn't talk about it.

He knew we'd all be out.

He must've collected sleeping pills.

Why couldn't he die of old age

like a normal person?

We'll just say he died in his sleep.

Well, he did...

so to speak.

Here.

It's for you.

He only wrote YOUR name on it.

"My dear child,

I am too old

to forget all the atrocities.

And too old to be any use to you.

Perhaps you'll understand one day,

and forgive me."

What does it say?

Nothing!

Nice of you to visit.

Thank you.

Why did you ask me to come?

- Curiosity.

I produced many German films

before Hitler took power.

I produced films in France,

England, and Hollywood.

You know where I last worked?

As a labourer

in a New York china factory.

Yes, and now l'm here.

My job, with American supervision,

is to revive the German film industry.

Or to prevent its revival.

We don't know which yet.

Tell me about yourself.

I was at school during the war.

I'm not a Nazi, l wasn't in the Party.

Excuse me, Miss Knef,

this isn't an interrogation.

I read your records. I had to.

You're an actress,

and a good one, it seems.
