Andreas Kuppler is a successful sportswriter in Germany during the Third Reich, an aesthete, and a music lover. His wife, a fan of the Führer and Goebbels, dreams of happy motherhood. The life of this young, beautiful, and seemingly harmonious couple is poisoned by the inner torments of both: Andreas
clearly sees the country sliding into an abyss and resists attempts to drag him down with it; Magdalena dreams of a child and, in desperation, loses her ability to reason.

The 1936 Winter Olympics should have been a new pinnacle in Andreas's career, but instead they become a point of no return. The events in the snowy Alps leave him no choice—and simultaneously allow him to become himself: he stops playing by the rules of the Nazi regime and establishes his own.
