"Berlin, 1938. Ann Weigel, a young Aryan teacher, has been expelled from the school where she worked and now must accept a job as a governess in the Hoffmanns' house, with whom her parents broke their friendship after the elections that converted Hitler as Chancellor of Germany. While trying to teach sweet little Louise and rebellious Kristin to the fringes of Nazi Party doctrine, Ann will face a difficult reunion with her old childhood friends: Berthold, who is now a Führer's man, and Wolfram, ailing, irreverent and that represents everything that the Nazis despise. What secrets does the Hoffmann house hide? Why is no one talking about Wolfram's strange illness? Who plays that piano that never stops playing?
