Películas

Bye Bye Germany
Screenplay
Un grupo de supervivientes de los campos de concentración nazis se asocian para montar un pequeño negocio de venta de ropa de cama, producto que por lo visto está muy demandado entre los alemanes, quienes además sienten la suficiente culpa como para no cerrar la puerta a un grupo de vendedores judíos. La idea es, por supuesto, reunir el dinero suficiente para irse de Alemania a los Estados Unidos. El simpático grupo, contagiado de la energía y la audacia de David, se pone manos a la obra, estafando a los clientes con la venta de lotes de sábanas “de París”, inventando de paso, para convencerlos, toda una serie de técnicas cínicas y pícaras, y bastante visionarias en términos de marketing.
