Professor Mamlock, a respected Jewish surgeon, is certain that the Weimar Republic would survive the political crisis of the early 1930s. He disapproves of his son, Rolf, a communist activist who openly opposes the Nazis. When Hitler rises to power, Mamlock loses his work and his dignity. Realizing the mistake he made by being politically apathetic, Mamlock commits suicide. The film ends with his dead face blending away from the screen, on which appears the inscription: "there is no greater crime than not wanting to fight when fight one must."

Elevé au rang de peintre fétiche de la cour du roi Charles IV d'Espagne, Francisco de Goya jouit d'une excellente réputation. S'il a foi dans l'Eglise et la royauté, Goya est aussi un patriote d'origine modeste, attaché au peuple. Homme de contradictions, il nourrit une passion dévorante pour la duchesse Alba, tout en désapprouvant sa morgue aristocratique. Goya traduit ces états d'âme dans des oeuvres singulières, qui paraîtront plus tard d'une grande modernité. A mesure qu'avance son «apprentissage» politique, ses toiles perdent leurs couleurs chatoyantes pour aborder un univers plus sombre et plus radical, jusqu'à s'attirer les foudres du Grand Inquisiteur...

In a Jewish ghetto in German-occupied Poland, a man named Jakob is summoned to the Gestapo office on a charge he broke the curfew. As the soldier who sent him there merely played a prank on him, he is released, but not before hearing a radio broadcast about the defeats of the German Army. As no one believes he went to the Gestapo and came out alive, Jakob makes up another tale, claiming he owns a radio – a crime punishable by death. He then starts encouraging his friends with false reports about the advance of the Red Army toward their ghetto. The residents, who are desperate and starved, find new hope in Jakob's stories. But it all ends as the Germans deport the people to their death in the extermination camps.
