Synopsis
A farmer's wife in Brandenburg is having strange dreams in which a Soviet prisoner-of-war assumes the face of her son. When her son suddenly turns up, she then has to stop a crime he had been helping plan against Soviet prisoners, tying him up and giving him up to the advancing Soviet army so that he survives the war.
Based on a short story with the same name from Bertold Brecht's collection "Kalendargeschichten."
This short film is the first episode of From Our Time.
