Berlin, 1938. Anna and Max yearn to get married, but their union is prohibited by the Nazis' Nuremberg laws, as Anna is part-Jewish. They visit a fortune teller who can help. Max is skeptical, but he plays the fee. Wheels turn, and Max receives word that his marriage will be authorized by the Gestapo.

This is an offer that Max cannot refuse, of course. If he is successful Anna will get the wedding of her dreams, but many brave resistance fighters will be captured, tortured and killed...
