The last hour in the Führerbunker shows the key figures of the Nazi regime on the brink of its downfall fighting a private war of their own.

The filmmaker René Perraudin made five comedic short films with Otto Sander in the leading role and knits them into a feature film.

Falling in love after a meet-cute on Hamburg’s frozen-over Alster Lake, Martha—a filmmaker with guilt over her privilege—and stalled architecture student Alfred begin a lively back-and-forth on every topic du jour. Meanwhile, Martha cohabits with her nanny’s family to feel a sense of social reality.

This is the account of the tragedy which befell a group of East Germans, in particular Clara and her lover Artur. It is all the more tragic in that they were young and hopeful. But, had they lived very, very long lives, they could not have expected nor would they have wished to see as much of the mad and macabre as they were to see that day. They came as friends and became sausage.
