Der Polenweiher(1986)

Der Polenweiher is a German film set in the Black Forest during 1943, centered on a murder that exposes the brutal prejudices of wartime. Anna, a Polish maid, is found dead in a pond—killed by farmer Rungerbühler, who feared the shame of her pregnancy would reveal his affair and violate Nazi racial laws. The local police commissioner quickly grasps what happened but chooses to ignore the crime for his own gain. Joachim Rot, a basket weaver who harbored secret feelings for Anna, suffers a devastating physical collapse in the wake of her death. The film draws on the true story of Rot, blending intimate tragedy with the moral corruption of an occupied society.
