This docu-drama portrays the time of the last April and early May days in 1945. It contrasts the world of madness of the Nazis in the “bunker” with the people of Berlin who were struggling for survival at the same time as the Soviet troops were about to capture the German capital. Rare film footage from Soviet war correspondents as well as 100 interviews with eyewitnesses who describe their most harrowing experiences above and below ground for the first time serve as the basis for the well-cast screenplay.
