This romance movie takes place during the historical Anglo-American bombing of the city of Dresden in February 1945. It was produced by the ZDF, a German Public Television Programme, and was originally split in two parts of 90 minutes each. A cinema version was then released in 2010.

The film was inspired by Jörg Friedrich's book The Fire. The €10 million production was shot on original locations in Dresden and Chemnitz.
