Hilde 2009

Broadway star, songstress, screen diva, international icon and best-selling author - Hildegard Knef was many things. But more than anything else, she was a fighter who often fell, but never stayed down. Berlin, 1943, young Hilde marches through the rubble of Berlin with only one thought in her head: to become a star. With luck, looks, the right men and overwhelming self-confidence, she makes her way in the film world. Hollywood beckons, but Hilde is no Marlene. Underemployed and frustrated, she longs for Germany. The divided country welcomes her back, but a short nude scene provokes a national scandal, making her an outcast in her own country.
