December 1944: the “total war” is as good as totally lost. Goebbels, however, isn’t willing to be so easily defeated. On New Year’s Day, the Führer is supposed to re-ignite the public’s fighting spirit with an aggressive speech. The only problem is that the Führer can’t do it. Sick and depressive, he is avoiding the public. The only person who can now help is his former acting teacher, Adolf Grünbaum… a Jew.

"An off-beat, absurdist fantasy…brings the abstract violence of war down to a personal level…a provocative, dissonant film that waltzes along to its own absurdist tempo.” - Donald Munro, The Fresno Bee
“A stellar cast, excellent production values and a neat storyline with a cheeky twist.”
- Derek Elley, Variety
