Julian is the elder sister who works at a women's magazine, often advocating for women's rights; her younger sister, Marianne, is a radical terrorist who hangs herself in a fit of rage after being arrested. However, the personalities of these sisters were completely opposite in their childhood—one rebellious and the other docile. After growing up, their paths diverged dramatically, and Julian harbors resentment towards her sister. The relationship between the two sisters remains strained and distant until Marianne's death prompts Julian to investigate the truth of her sister's life. Behind the scenes: This feminist film by German director Margarethe von Trotta uses the differing fates of a pair of German sisters to reveal the political realities and historical relations within German society, characterized by a heavy and oppressive style. The director uses small metaphors for larger themes, utilizing the personal conflict between the sisters to reflect the disconnect caused by the incongruity of German history and reality. The film features a gloomy color palette with many close-up shots and has a strong feminist consciousness. The snippets of the sisters' girlhood contain political implications reflecting East and West Germany, which can be quite obscure.
