Телевизионнный фильм. Третий фильм из цикла «Туда и обратно» австрийского режиссёра Акселя Корти. Два еврея — Фредди, эмигрировавший из Вены после гитлеровского вторжения, и Адлер, бывший левый интеллектуал из Берлина — возвращаются в 1944 году в Австрию солдатами американской армии. Фредди влюбляется в дочь фашиста, Адлер пытается перейти в коммунистическую зону. Однако с наступлением холодной войны и обострением антисемитизма, идеализм обоих разбивается о всеобщий цинизм, оппортунизм и самообман.

In October 1936, a high official in the Austrian government receives a letter from a German Jewish woman with whom he had an affair in 1925 asking him to help place an 11-year-old, half Jewish boy in a good Austrian school. Is the child his? Should he help? And above all should he help now, at a time when Nazis are becoming powerful in Austria?

Chemist Michael Brandt travels to Western Australia on behalf of a great German company. Pretending to be a private investor he purchases industrial real estate for a pesticide factory - chemicals which have long been on the forbidden list in Europe and in the U.S. but make huge profit on sales in Third World Countries.

After his father is murdered by the Nazis in 1938, a young Viennese Jew named Ferry Tobler flees to Prague, where he joins forces with another expatriate and a sympathetic Czech relief worker. Together with other Jewish refugees, the three make their way to Paris, and, after spending time in a French prison camp, eventually escape to Marseille, from where they hope to sail to a safe port

This bizarre comedy demonstrates - as a convincing example - how TV-commercials may be produced, sacrificing extensive amounts of money, bottomless creativity and even human life without any respect right to the finish.
