...East Germany in the mid-'80s, the film documents the communist government's internal spy network, the Stasi. One of its top operatives (Ulrich Mühe) is snooping on a famous playwright and his actress mistress in hopes of getting evidence of political betrayal.

She often said that she took the time to dress well because that was what was expected of her. She wrote and spoke about the joy of giving - not acquiring - and enjoyed every minute of giving money away. She visited every institution her foundation funded.
