Featuring one of the final performances by acclaimed Swiss actor Bruno Ganz (THE AMERICAN FRIEND) this drama based on the international bestseller by Robert Seethaler explores an unexpected friendship set against the background of the Nazi occupation of Vienna. Seventeen-year-old Franz (Morzé) journeys to Vienna to apprentice at a tobacco shop. There he meets Sigmund Freud (Ganz), a regular customer. When Franz falls desperately in love with the music-hall dancer Anezka (Emma Drogunova), he seeks courtship advice from the psychoanalyst. As political and social conditions dramatically worsen with the Nazis' arrival in Vienna, Franz, Freud, and Anezka are swept into the maelstrom of events. In German with English subtitles.
