What is the story of the German film "Fear Swallows the Soul"?

It rained in Munich, Germany. In a pub run by Arabs, many Arabs are chatting and drinking. At this time, Amy, an ugly widow of about 60 years old, walked into the pub and sat timidly at a table near the door. When the waitress came forward, Amy whispered, "It's raining hard outside. I want to come in. I pass by here every day. The music is beautiful. What language is it sung in? " The waitress asked her what to drink, but she didn't dare to look into the waitress's eyes and replied falteringly, "Coke." The sound is almost inaudible.

At this time, an Arab who was drinking at the counter was named Ali, 35 years old, wearing a black suit and a full face of beard. A young Arab girl invited him to dance, but he turned a deaf ear. The girl teased him deliberately: "Do you dare to ask that old lady to dance?" The girl pointed at Amy. Ali walked up to Amy without saying a word. "Would you like to dance with me?" Amy was at a loss for this unexpected invitation. She stood up and said, "I haven't danced for 20 years, maybe not." They entered the dance floor and talked while dancing. Amy told Ali that her husband had died and she was very busy. Ali told Amy that she was from Morocco, working in the garage all day and having fun in the pub at night. He also said that Germans are not good to Arabs, Germans are husbands and Arabs are dogs. Just don't think about it, and cry if you think too much. After the dance, Ali paid Amy to take her home.

It's still raining in the street. Ali sent Amy to the door of the building, and they were still chatting in the rain. Ali asked Amy what she did. Amy hesitated to say anything. But I still told Ali that I was a cleaner and people looked down on me. I also told him that although I have three children who are married, I seldom see each other and often stay alone.

It is still raining. Amy invited Ali upstairs for coffee and brandy, and Ali agreed. When they went upstairs, the neighbors looked at the foreign man Amy brought home with curious eyes.

Amy lives alone in an apartment, and they chat and drink. Amy told Ali that her husband was Polish and died in the war. His parents don't agree with this marriage, saying that marrying a foreigner has no good result. Ali also told Amy that he had five sisters, all in Africa, and the Germans didn't treat them like human beings. The two talked harmoniously and sympathized with each other. Amy heard that Ali lived in a six-person room, so she left Ali to live in her own house.

At night, Ali couldn't sleep for a long time. He came to Amy's bedroom and said to Amy, "I can't sleep." I want to talk to you! " "Amy comforted Ali. When Amy got up the next morning, she was very surprised to see Ali lying naked in bed. She went to the mirror and looked at her old face. She said to Ali with great concern, "I am an old lady! """You are not old, and your heart is great." Amy cried and said, "I'm afraid." "Fear is not a good thing, fear will devour the soul, just as we Arabs all say."

Amy told her colleagues at work: "I met a foreigner on the subway and he bought me coffee …" Before she finished, she was immediately insulted by her colleagues: "Foreigners are like pigs, they are misers and liars. I am ashamed that foreigners marry German women. All thieves and prostitutes, nobody cares. How can foreigners live without German and education? ..... "Amy listened to these words and pondered painfully alone.

Amy went back to her daughter's house after work and told her daughter and son-in-law that she fell in love with a young Moroccan. She was satirized, ridiculed and laughed at by her daughter and son-in-law for some time. Amy was unhappy and went to the bar. The waitress said rudely to Amy, "It's not raining outside. What are you doing here?"? Ali belongs to me. " Amy left the bar disappointed. Seeing Ali waiting for her at their door, they were happy to go upstairs for dinner. The landlord's son came into the room and told Amy that according to the housing regulations, Ali was not allowed to spend the night here. Amy blurted out anxiously, "I'm going to marry Ali!" " "When the landlord's son left, Amy woke up and explained to Ali. Ali is very happy: "You and I are married! " "

It's another rainy day. Amy and Ali come out of the Munich Marriage Registry. Amy excitedly recited her name over and over again, telling the children to go home on Saturday to celebrate. Amy's family, two sons and daughters, the son-in-law's eyes are fixed on Amy. Amy introduced her husband to the children, who looked at Ali with hatred. The youngest son suddenly stood up and kicked the TV. Another son said to Amy, "Mom, I'm ashamed. Please forget my child. " The daughter also left angrily. Amy cried her eyes out.

It is difficult for Ali and Amy to buy things in the store. They are left in the bar for dinner. Finally, they decided to go to a place where no one knew them.

When I came back from vacation, everything around me changed. The shopkeeper invited Amy to the store; The female neighbor came to Amy for help; My son also came to his mother and asked Amy to take care of the children. In the face of all this, Ali was unhappy, went to the bar alone to relieve boredom and spent the night with the waitress.

Late at night, Amy anxiously waited for Ali to come home. The next day, I went to the garage to find Ali. The worker asked inexplicably, "Ali, is that your grandmother in Morocco?" Ali bowed his head and said nothing. From then on, Ali drank and gambled. Amy once found Ali in a bar. Ali asked Amy to dance as he did when he first met her, and told her, "I slept with other women." Amy replied, "You are a free man, and I am old. I just hope that we can get along well. " Suddenly, Ali screamed and fell to the ground in pain.

In the hospital, Amy came to visit. The doctor told Amy that Ali had a severe gastric ulcer, which was caused by overwork and improper diet. This is a common disease of migrant workers, which will be cured, but it will recur after half a year. Amy told the doctor, "I won't let him relapse again." Amy came to Ali's ward and sat in front of the bed, staring blankly at Ali lying in bed, holding his hand and crying in a low voice in pain.

The introduction of this film is: "Happiness is not always happiness".
