A German woman marries a soldier during World War II, who then goes off to fight and does not return, immediately, after the war's end. Maria remains dedicated to him and even in his absence she lives her life for him - working her way up the social ladder to ensure a good life upon his possible return. It's better to just watch the film at this point since ther are many interesting twists and turns.
I guess the big question in this film is: what exactly is Maria Braun's motivation to remain faithful to her husband? Indeed, how 'faithful' is she since she keeps having affairs with other guys?
