Berlin, 1939. Joseph Goebbels, ministre de la propagande nazie, commandite un film qui, selon lui, doit présenter un haut niveau artistique tout en instruisant le peuple allemand contre la « juiverie ». Il choisit l'acteur de second rang d'origine autrichienne Ferdinand Marian pour interpréter le rôle-titre du film Jud Süss, rôle qui doit véhiculer tous les poncifs antisémites. Marian, initialement très réticent, accepte finalement le rôle. Grâce au succès du film, il devient malgré lui une vedette du cinéma du IIIe Reich. Mais la chute du régime entraîne aussi la fin de sa carrière et l'éclatement de sa famille car il restera irrémédiablement associé au plus grand film de propagande nazie.
