Биографический фильм о хирурге и городском враче в Хайльбронне Юлиусе Роберте Майере (1814-1878), который много лет изучал тепло и был первым, кто правильно сформулировал основные принципы теории механического тепла и принцип сохранения энергии. Конкурирующие прусские учёные смеются над ним, а его жизнь полна недоразумений и преследований. Фильм, посвящён памяти этого великого немецкого натуралиста, рассказывает о его судьбе, а также о его долгой и тщетной борьбе за признание результатов его научной работы.

Betrogen bis zum jüngsten Tag

East Germany's contribution to the 1957 Cannes Film Festival was the wartime melodrama Betrogen bis zum Juengsten Tag. Had the film been released in the U.S., the title would probably have translated to Duped Till the Last. The film condemns the Nazi mindset by concentrating on a particularly odious cover-up. When his son is involved in the accidental killing of a girl, a Gestapo general pulls strings to save the boy from prosecution. The general manages to pin the blame for the killing on a group of Russians, whereupon he gives the men under his command carte blanche to round up and execute as many innocent Russians as they wish. This act of brutality is contrasted with the pangs of guilt suffered by the son and his co-conspirators.

The authorities expect the case of Friedel Walter, alias "Dr. Mueller," to be a straightforward one: he was working as a doctor without proper credentials under a false name. But Mehlin, the man in charge of his case, knows that there is more to the story. When he was injured fleeing from a concentration camp, resistance worker Irene asked her medical student boyfriend Walter to give him medical care.
