A nameless woman keeps a diary as the Russians invade Berlin in the spring of 1945. She is in her early 30s, a patriotic journalist with international credentials; her husband, Gerd, a writer, is an officer at the Russian front. She speaks Russian and, for a day or two after the invasion, keeps herself safe, but then the rapes begin. She resolves to control her fate and invites the attentions of a Russian major, Andreij Rybkin. He becomes her protector of sorts subject to pressures from his own fellow soldiers and officers. Dramas play out in the block of flats where she lives. Is she an amoral traitor? She asks, "How do we go on living?" And what of Gerd and her diary?

The source novel was virtually banned in West Germany when it was first published in the late 1950s. When it was republished in 2003, it became a huge bestseller and nationwide sensation in a reunified Germany.
Anonyma was later revealed to be journalist Marta Hillers.
The movie's source novel is the diary of an unnamed woman, called Anonyma, from April 29, 1945 to June 22, 1945.
As a protective measure the author requested her anonymity as author of her book: Eine Frau in Berlin (A Woman In Berlin).
In the four months that the Soviet army occupied Berlin, the soldiers raped an estimated 95,000 to 130,000 females. A Soviet war correspondent reported that soldiers were raping every German female "between 8 and 80."
