Debora Arnold tries to investigate the past of the famous German conductor Doctor Furtwängler.The interrogation room becomes a battlefield of different ideologies: can you separate art and politics? Can one lead a life of peace and productivity after striking a deal with the devil? Does music hold the potential to free the human spirit?
