Based on a story by Thomas Mann. History professor Held acts and speaks as Mann's alter ego in a deeply intellectual study of Mann and Germany's 1923 Inflation Year, blessed by beautiful cinematography. Director Seitz is Germany's most authoritative figure in the study of Mann, penning two
previous scripts from his works. Bergman's THE SERPENT'S EGG deals with the same historical period.
