The Man I Married background

The Man I Married

A dramatic portrayal of an American woman's discovery of her husband's Nazi affiliation, set against the backdrop of historical newsreel footage from 1938, as she works to escape to America with their young son.

A film set in Germany in the 1940s, this apologetic tells the story of a married couple and their 9-year-old son who visit the husband's elderly father, a factory owner and film director, after a decade in New York. As they navigate the rising nationalism and Nazi Party's grip on Germany, they become embroiled in a moral dilemma. The father's films, which depict the brutality of the Nazi regime, have made him a target, and the couple's friend asks them to deliver bribe money to free his imprisoned brother, a philosopher who criticizes the Nazis. The film is a powerful warning about the dangers of nationalism and the devastating consequences of war, featuring real-life figures like Goebbels and Dachau.
