The story opens with a courageous journalist, known only as Anonyma due to her desire for anonymity, documenting the past incidents of war in her diary. As she reflects on her experiences, the scene flashes back to 1945, during the final days of World War II in Europe.

The Soviet Union has launched three fronts to capture Berlin, intensifying the conflict. On this day, Anonyma shares a heartfelt goodbye kiss with her husband, a high-ranking German soldier in the Nazi party, as he departs for duty. After his departure, she returns to her usual life, socializing with her upper-class friends, revealing the stark contrast between her privileged lifestyle and the surrounding chaos of war.
