Death takes a holiday. People can no longer die. But then the Hitler/Kaiser perishes. Together with the conductor Kerry Woodward, who is the custodian of this exceptional musical score, Sebastián Alfie reconstructs the complex and touching story of a chamber opera created amid inhumanity, which is compellingly topical. Simon Hauck

We present the international premiere of the film.
