In February 1943, Berlin was declared "Jew-free" by the NS regime, but 7,000 Jews had already gone into hiding. Almost 1,700 would survive the war in Berlin. The Invisibles tells the stories of four of these survivors: Hanni Lévy, a 17-year-old who has lost her parents and blends in with her blonde hair; Cioma Schönhaus, a forger who saves dozens of lives; Eugen Friede, a resistance fighter; and Ruth Arndt, who pretends to be a war widow to serve black-market food to an NS officer. The film combines dramatic re-enactments with interviews from the actual people whose stories inspired it, creating an intense and emotionally moving feature film.
