Synopsis:
Based on a fragment of the autobiography of the singer Lale Andersen, linked to the success of her famous song "Lili Marleen", the film begins in 1938, in the city of Zurich.
German cabaret singer Willie and musician Robert Mendelsson are in love and want to get married. Robert belongs to the Haganah, an organization that provides aid to Jews threatened by the Nazi regime. Their romance will be interrupted when Robert's father sees this romance as an obstacle to the organization's goals. Willie is expelled from Switzerland and returns to Germany, where an SS group leader named Henkel takes an interest in her and hires her as a singer in a Munich tavern. There she sings for the first time the song "Lili Marleen" which, recorded on disk during the first days of the war and accidentally picked up by the Belgrade military radio station, ends up becoming not only the anthem of the Second World War, but also the symbol of the desire for peace of all soldiers on both sides of the front.
