    Storyline

    Edit
    • Trivia
      When student Jenny is at Frau Krüger's (b. 1926) home, a picture of Ludwig van Beethoven (1770-1827) and one of Wilhelm Furtwängler (1886-1954) can be seen on the wall above the piano. Earlier, we see a picture of Furtwängler when the young Krüger is being coerced by a member of the Nazi party to rebuke her friendship with her then student (circa 1944).
    • Goofs
      In several sequences where we see Jenny playing the piano, the notes we hear do not correspond to the keys she plays.
    • Quotes

      Gerhard von Loeben: I hope you win, Jenny.

      Jenny von Loeben: I hope you die, Daddy.
