They are able to hide their sexual relationship from most people, but no matter how hard she tries, Shoshonna cannot hide the fact that she’s Jewish. Petra’s promise as a filmmaker grows as she works closely with Riefenstahl filming the movie Triumph of the Wills, which will become one of Hitler’s most successful propaganda films.

Some of this attention is great for her career, but some is detrimental, not just to her career, but also to her life. When a Triumph crew member spies Shoshonna and Petra in an intimate moment, they can’t hide any longer. They are forced to make the ultimate decision: their careers, their love, or their lives?
