En 1929, la jeune femme, désireuse de s’émanciper, déniche un emploi comme commis à la boutique de Heinrich Hoffmann, photographe exclusif du Parti national-socialiste. Timide et introvertie, elle est présentée au führer et chef du parti, un petit homme à la politesse irréprochable. Adolf Hitler commence à la courtiser.

Munich, 1935. Eva Braun a maintenant une place dans la vie du führer. Une petite place, car le projet d’Hitler de redessiner la carte du monde en rétablissant l’honneur et la pureté du sang allemand laisse peu de loisirs à celui-ci. Toutefois, ces actions ne changent rien à l’admiration sans bornes qu’Eva lui voue. Le régime nazi en a fait une privilégiée. Voyages, vêtements luxueux, maison dans un quartier huppé, voiture et chauffeur font maintenant partie de son quotidien. Il lui reste aussi ses amis, sa mère et ses sœurs.
