Outline[edit]

I am planning on adding a detailed plot synopsis (several paragraphs long at least), a reception section that shares how well the film was received by various countries, most likely expanding the cast list to include more of the supporting cast, and most importantly writing a section on the historical context and influence of this film. Since a large portion of the story takes place in Berlin, World War 2 is extremely relevant as well as the fall of the Berlin Wall. Also, since the story mainly centers on Effi, and how she attempts to enjoy life despite being limited by the circumstances surrounding her, I believe that it might be worth researching how the Cold war affected Germany, as well.
