Bye Bye Germany

Es war einmal in Deutschland

The end of WWII finds suave smooth-talking entrepreneur David Bermann recruiting fellow Holocaust survivors to sell overpriced “luxury” linens to guilt-ridden Germans. Mixing madcap adventures with searing post war examinations; this bittersweet movie is about grappling with a painful past while rediscovering life’s pleasures. Based on co-screenwriter Michel Bergmann’s debut novel The Traveling Salesmen, and his own, often funny, family history of Jews left behind in Germany after the war.
