The film is like an absurd play. Shortly before the war ends, the SS chain of command abruptly breaks during a death march into the Mauthausen concentration camp. Stranded in a barn, a group of Hungarian Jews decides to rehearse the operetta “Wiener Blut.” Through art, they manage to momentarily forget the prevalent anti-Semitic resentments and to rouse an old longing in the embittered barn owners: for a life in which music and love still have a place.
