Morgan is living in a house that formerly belonged to the Lubert family. It is a beautiful modernist mansion on the bank of the Elbe river, designed in an opulent artistic style. As was custom practice, the house was requisitioned after the war by the British. But contrary to custom, Colonel Morgan, the British man that it is assigned to, allows the former tenants to remain rather than turning them out. It becomes a microcosm of the Anglo-German tensions that characterize post-war Germany and the domestic scenes that play out between the Luberts and the Morgans symbolize the greater process of disharmony and reconciliation.
