Vor der Morgenröte

Film screening

In an elegant white hall with high ceilings there is a table set with festive flowers. Dishes, wine glasses and cutlery is set on the table. Well-dressed people in old fashioned attire of the era of the Second World War are standing around the table. They are applauding and looking at the two men in the front, who are dressed in suits, looking at one another and are smiling. © X Filme Creative Pool

Over six episodes, the film provides insight into the joint life of the Austrian writer Stefan Zweig (Josef Hader) and his wife Lotte. The family is Jewish and on the run from Nazi persecution during the Second World War.
