The Aftermath Movie Story
The Aftermath movie takes us to late 1940s when control of Germany was
divided among the British, the Americans, the Russians, and the French—their combined mission was to help rebuild the war-ravaged nation.
Millions of German citizens were either homeless or without food, fuel, or other necessities when the British arrived. After the cessation of hostilities, the native population was barred from having any involvement in running their own affairs.
It is under these circumstances that Rachael Morgan travels from England to the ruins of Hamburg to be reunited with her husband Lewis, a British colonel charged with rebuilding the shattered city after the end of the second World War. She soon finds out that her husband has decided to share their house with the previous owner Lubert and his disturbed teenage daughter.
The unconventional arrangement breeds tension and discomfort, with Rachael harboring a simmering resentment toward the guests she views as interlopers.
Lubert discovers that Rachael is locked in a prison of sorrow over the death of her young son in a London air raid, while Rachael learns that Lubert lost his beloved wife in an Allied bombing campaign. Remarkably, the one person to sense the profound isolation Rachael feels is Lubert, a man who now haunts the rafters of his home like a ghost.
As she begins to absorb the weight of what they, too, lost in the conflict, Rachael’s stance toward the Germans begins to soften, slowly, evidenced by small gestures.
Finally, enmity and grief give way to passion and betrayal, changing the course of their lives forever.
