Año 1985, Berlín Este. Klaus Drittemann es un cantautor que se ve obligado a trasladarse a occidente. Ya en el año 1968, debido a una canción reivindicativa, fue incitado a abandonar el país y a reconocer su provocación, eludiendo a cambio cualquier tipo de proceso, pero entonces se negó por el amor a su patria. Ahora, no obstante y casi veinte años después, triste y desilusionado, elige el mismo camino que realizó su padre Jacob tiempo atrás. Para ello se despide de su hijo Thomas, su padrastro y su madre Rosa. Una vez en el Berlín occidental consigue alojamiento gracias a Lucy Bernstein, quien le ofrece un contrato discográfico para la Taube Records. Klaus también pide su apoyo para poder reencontrarse con su padre, ya que hace mucho tiempo que no sabe nada de él. Lucy le encomienda a Emma de Baen, una mujer francesa que, gracias a su trabajo como periodista, puede ayudarle en una búsqueda que le permitirá descubrir una etapa desconocida y sorprendente de la vida de su padre.

Eine Nacht in Venedig (A Night in Venice) is an operetta in three acts by Johann Strauss II. Its libretto was by F. Zell and Richard Genée based on Le Château Trompette by Eugène Cormon and Richard Genée. The farcical, romantic story involves several cases of mistaken identity. The piece premiered in 1883 in Berlin and then Vienna. It became one of Strauss's three most famous stage works and has been seen in New York, London and elsewhere, and has been adapted for film.

This spectacular opera film was taped in 1967 and is based on the 1966 Salzburg Festival production directed by Herbert von Karajan himself, who also conducts the fabulous Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra. The production features the three greatest exponents of their respective roles at the time: Grace Bumbry’s magnificently seductive-toned Carmen, Mirella Freni’s ineffably lovely, touching Micaëla and Jon Vickers’s thrillingly manic-depressive Don José. On its release the film was hailed by Die Presse, (Vienna) as a “unique artistic event”, while Le Monde felt that Karajan’s production brought “a whole new dimension” to the opera, “combined with a magisterial interpretation”. A classical and utterly dramatic approach to probably the world's most beloved opera – Karajan’s Carmen is as much a delicacy for opera fans as it is a perfect starter for newcomers.
