Programme

Summer 2013. Adolf Hitler wakes up on a neglected patch in the middle of Berlin. In the deepest peace, without his party, without his loyalists, without Eva. Alone and alone in a sea of immigrants. 66 years after his presumed death, he is stuck in the present and against all odds launches a new career - on YouTube! And eventually - how else - he'll go into politics! This bitter political satire shows contemporary Germany as a cynical society driven forward by an unscrupulous desire for success, which, despite decades of democracy, is completely defenceless against demagogues of the coarsest kind. "On the one hand, this is a hilariously comic book, but on the other hand, it will soon freeze the smile on your face." (Stern). You can look forward to a great black grotesque that works perfectly in the Czech environment.
