About film
This is a detailed account of the last years of Stefan Zweig’s life. Like many other Europeans, he escaped the Old World with a foreboding of World War II. From Rio de Janeiro to Buenos Aires, from New York back to Rio. But Zweig’s new life in a comfortable Brazilian suburb did not give him freedom from his internal connection with his native German culture.
