In this drama, Berlinger (Martin Benrath) is an important scientist in the Nazi era, who refuses to join the party, or to support many of the country's designs. Instead, he wafted people out of Germany into safer climes and then was forced to flee himself. In the film, he returns to Germany in 1968 to regain control of his abandoned factory and pick up where he left off--attempting to even up a few long-standing grudges. ~ Clarke Fountain, Rovi
