Plot

Nuremberg 1933. Leo Katzenberger, a Jewish businessman runs a shoe business from his flat. He loves his wife Claire as well as their daughters and other family members. It all seems to be as nothing can ruin their life together, until blond beauty, Irene Scheffler, a model, decides to open a photography studio next to him. As time goes by, Irene and Leo starting to get closer, resulting in a rather cozy and platonic friendship. Due to his failure of being discreet in his affair, Leo is arrested, tried and then executed in a process that became known as Katzenberger Trial.
