- SYNOPSIS: Germany in the 1970's is a time marked by a spirit of anarchy and rebellion. Rita Vog (Bibiana Beglau) is seduced into the terrorist movement through her sense of justice and her love for Andi (Harald Schrott). Years later, realizing the movement is falling apart, she goes underground, hiding out in East Germany. With the help of a Stasi agent named Erwin Hull (Martin Wuttke), she assumes a new identity amidst the everyday world of the working class. As much as she wants to fit in, her young co-worker Tatjana (Nadja Uhl) wants to get out, to escape to the west. Nonetheless, they form a deep friendship, which is brought to an abrupt end when a report on West German television blows Rita’s cover. Rita must disappear again, but this time a new name and a new city bring her luck. While on vacation, Rita meets Jochen (Alexander Beyer), a university student working as a lifeguard. He wants her to come with him to Moscow, to be his wife and bear his children. But in the end Rita’s past catches up with her. It is 1989 and the Berlin Wall has fallen. East Germany is gone, and with it, her new life. The Legend of Rita is the story of a woman’s fate, a story that could only take place in Germany.
