When it premiered, this comedy about Nazism, shot in 1942 and set in occupied Warsaw, was criticised by the outraged reviewers as tasteless, but today it is considered one of Lubitsch’s greatest masterpieces – a proof that, with humour, one can defy all forms of repression.

A mighty old tree stands in the garden of a German university. Three eras, three human lives, and three clumsy yet sincere attempts at connection: with the world, with nature, and with oneself. A film by Ildikó Enyedi (On Body and Soul).
