DJFF: The Last Supper
February 10, 2019 @ 5:30 pm - 7:05 pm
$12 – $14
Director: Florian Frerichs
2018/Germany/80 minutes
German with English subtitles
On the day Adolf Hitler comes to power, the German-Jewish family Glickstein comes together for a family dinner. Most of them, however (like so many other Germans at that time), don’t take the Nazis seriously. When young Leah reveals her plans to emigrate from Berlin to Palestine, her family starts disputing. Her father Aaron can’t see any reason to leave Germany, the country of their ancestors and the country he risked his life for during the First World War. But when Michael, Leah’s younger brother, indicates that he actually is an ardent admirer of the National Socialist Movement, the family is on the brink of being torn apart.
