Un'accusa bruciante al male nella Germania di Hitler. Hendrik Hofgen è un uomo ossessionato dal diventare un attore famoso. Quando i nazisti salgono al potere in Germania, rinuncia volontariamente al suo passato comunista e abbandona la moglie e l'amante per continuare a esibirsi. La sua diabolica interpretazione di Mefistofele nel Faust si rivela il trampolino di lancio che desiderava: attirando l'attenzione di Hermann Göring, ottiene a Hofgen la nomina a direttore del Teatro di Stato. Le ricompense (il rispetto del pubblico, una villa simile a un castello, un posto nei circoli più alti di Berlino) vanno oltre i suoi sogni più sfrenati. Ma le conseguenze morali dei suoi tradimenti iniziano a perseguitarlo, trasformando il suo mondo dei sogni in un incubo.

When the Nazis come to power in Germany, he willingly renounces his Communist past and deserts his wife and mistress in order to keep on performing.
