Give My Love to Berlin follows the lives of two gay couples in the late 1920's Weimar Republic as it slowly gives way to the Nazi's Third Reich and one young woman in America in the 1990s where she grapples with the onset of her grandmother's dementia and discovers secrets her grandmother kept hidden for decades.

In 1920s Germany, Tillie and Ruth and their best friends, James and Ernesto, navigate falling in love, thriving in their community, and coming to terms with the danger they're in just by being who they are, even as Tillie watches her father, a prominent lawyer, become more and more entrenched in the Nazi Party. Ruth, a performer at one of the nightclubs in the city and Tillie, working in her father's law office where she meets Joseph Goebbels and Hermann G ring, become convinced that her and her friends' lives are in danger as the Nazis take over Berlin one neighborhood at a time.

Decades later in America, the shocking truth about Tillie, Ruth, James, and Ernesto and life under the deadly specter of hate and bigotry is finally revealed as a timely story about love, sacrifice, and the choices one must make in the face of danger.
