Shortly before dawn, Dietrich von Choltitz, German military governor of Paris, prepares to execute Adolph Hitler's orders to blow up the French capital. Bridges and monuments are all rigged to explode. And yet, Paris is not destroyed. For what reasons did von Choltitz, refuse to carry out the Fuhrer's commands, despite his boundless loyalty to the Third Reich? Was it Raoul Nordling, Swedish consul-general to Paris, who made the General change his mind?
Volker Schlöndorff is arguably one of the most important and internationally successful German directors. Schlöndorff was born in Wiesbaden in 1939. In 1964, Schlöndorff directed his first feature film, Young Törless, which won several awards and was the first international success for the budding movement of the New German Cinema. More successful films were to follow, like „The Lost Honor of Katharina Blum", which he co-directed with Margarethe von Trotta or Schlöndorff's biggest success to date, his film-version of Günter Grass'" The Tin Drum", for which he received an Academy Award.
