Sturm kommt auf

Overview

After World War I, political divisions deepen in a village in Upper Bavaria. Julius Kraus, a reclusive cobbler, finds himself caught between the fronts when his Jewish identity is revealed. The two 90-minute feature films are based on the novel "Unruhe um einen Friedfertigen" (Unrest Around a Peaceful Man) by Oskar Maria Graf, a masterpiece of German-language exile literature.
