Es war einmal in Deutschland...
What should the Jews do after they were released from the concentration camps? That's right, trade! In 1946, in Frankfurt (this area belongs to the American occupation zone), one man named David Bermann, together with his six Jewish friends, dreams of getting to the USA. But, of course, after the horrors of the Nazi regime, they have no money. And it is not easy to get them in the post-war period... Therefore, they decide to give the Germans what they need most now - bed linen. Six beautiful storytellers and sellers go from house to house to put these rags in the hands of housewives at a very high price. But Bermann's past is somewhat murky. American officer Sarah Simon is interested in him. She is almost sure that this Jew collaborated with the Nazis, but it is necessary to prove it somehow. And this devil also knows how to charm women.
