1
00:01:38,167 --> 00:01:40,584
Very elegant.

2
00:01:40,751 --> 00:01:42,959
Nobody would think you're working here.

3
00:01:43,126 --> 00:01:45,292
You look like a madame.

4
00:02:20,042 --> 00:02:22,209
Finished?

5
00:02:22,376 --> 00:02:23,334
Finished.

6
00:02:23,501 --> 00:02:26,626
Then off you go, my lovelies.

7
00:02:53,334 --> 00:02:58,042
STEFAN ZWEIG - FAREWELL TO EUROPE

8
00:03:09,292 --> 00:03:11,750
Let's see where he's sitting.

9
00:03:13,584 --> 00:03:15,834
Here he is.
- Good afternoon.

10
00:03:16,001 --> 00:03:18,667
Could we get a table for the books?

11
00:03:20,292 --> 00:03:22,209
Bring a table, please.

12
00:03:26,792 --> 00:03:29,209
Who is she again?
- She's that...

13
00:03:29,376 --> 00:03:31,792
That writer...

14
00:03:33,667 --> 00:03:35,042
Oh, I know.

15
00:03:35,209 --> 00:03:38,459
Her husband is the founder of Sul America.

16
00:03:42,459 --> 00:03:45,292
Lagorotti.
- Lagorotti, that's it.

17
00:03:46,209 --> 00:03:48,209
He's sitting here.

18
00:03:48,376 --> 00:03:53,042
...still too dependent
on the global market price for coffee.

19
00:03:53,917 --> 00:03:57,042
When it rises, Brazil flourishes.

20
00:03:57,209 --> 00:04:00,251
But when it falls...
- I see.

21
00:04:06,709 --> 00:04:09,626
Incredible.
- Is it to your liking?

22
00:04:10,251 --> 00:04:12,042
You know what Vespucci said

23
00:04:12,209 --> 00:04:15,334
when he arrived in the Bay of Rio in 1502?

24
00:04:15,501 --> 00:04:16,126
No.

25
00:04:16,292 --> 00:04:18,584
"If paradise exists on Earth,

26
00:04:18,751 --> 00:04:21,167
it cannot be very far from here."

27
00:04:21,334 --> 00:04:22,834
Very good.

28
00:04:23,084 --> 00:04:24,209
Dr. Zweig. Please...

29
00:04:24,376 --> 00:04:29,167
A photograph with Minister Scares
and our president's daughters.

30
00:04:29,334 --> 00:04:30,792
With pleasure.

31
00:04:34,876 --> 00:04:35,876
Thank you.

32
00:04:37,376 --> 00:04:41,251
Monsieur Zweig, could you sign the book?
- Of course.

33
00:04:44,209 --> 00:04:48,042
By the way, tomorrow I will have
the pleasure of meeting your father.

34
00:04:48,209 --> 00:04:49,292
Oh yes.

35
00:04:49,459 --> 00:04:51,792
You are meeting our president?

36
00:04:51,959 --> 00:04:54,209
I hope he behaves himself.

37
00:05:03,001 --> 00:05:05,542
Mr. Zweig, perhaps the two Miss Vargases

38
00:05:05,709 --> 00:05:07,751
would also like a book.
- Of course.

39
00:05:07,917 --> 00:05:11,250
Let's find you a book.
- Lovely.

40
00:05:11,959 --> 00:05:14,209
Very kind of you.
- My pleasure.

41
00:05:16,042 --> 00:05:18,042
How are you?

42
00:05:19,001 --> 00:05:24,584
May I introduce you to the Chairman
of the Academia Brasileira de Letras?

43
00:05:25,459 --> 00:05:27,876
Monsieur de Souza,
I had the pleasure yesterday.

44
00:05:28,042 --> 00:05:29,626
The pleasure is all mine.

45
00:05:29,792 --> 00:05:32,209
And we will see each other in Buenos Aires.

46
00:05:32,376 --> 00:05:34,417
My wife.
- Nice to meet you.

47
00:05:34,584 --> 00:05:36,084
My pleasure.

48
00:05:36,626 --> 00:05:38,751
Claudio, how are you?

49
00:05:39,751 --> 00:05:41,751
See you later.
- Thank you.

50
00:05:41,917 --> 00:05:44,876
Would you sign mine too?
- Of course.

51
00:05:45,042 --> 00:05:47,001
Thank you.
- My pleasure.

52
00:05:48,292 --> 00:05:50,667
Your attention please.

53
00:05:52,501 --> 00:05:56,459
On behalf
of the Brazilian Foreign Ministry,

54
00:05:57,084 --> 00:06:00,376
and in honor of our guest,
Dr. Stefan Zweig,

55
00:06:00,542 --> 00:06:02,876
a warm welcome to you all.

56
00:06:03,417 --> 00:06:07,417
Your works arrived here long before you.

57
00:06:07,584 --> 00:06:11,667
They can be found
on display in our bookshops,

58
00:06:11,834 --> 00:06:15,459
on the shelves of our living rooms

59
00:06:15,626 --> 00:06:18,876
and especially in our hearts.

60
00:06:19,042 --> 00:06:24,542
That is the only explanation
for the more than 2,000 people

61
00:06:24,709 --> 00:06:27,459
who attended your reading yesterday.

62
00:06:36,334 --> 00:06:40,917
Our thanks go to your publisher,
Mr. Abrahão Koogan,

63
00:06:41,084 --> 00:06:44,334
who persuaded you to stop by

64
00:06:44,501 --> 00:06:47,334
on your way to the writer's congress
in Buenos Aires.

65
00:06:47,501 --> 00:06:50,959
But I won't keep you any longer,
we're all hungry,

66
00:06:51,126 --> 00:06:54,501
and the horse race
is not going to wait for us.

67
00:07:03,792 --> 00:07:07,584
Esteemed Foreign Minister Soares,
ladies and gentlemen.

68
00:07:07,751 --> 00:07:10,709
As some of you may know,
I no longer live in my homeland.

69
00:07:10,876 --> 00:07:14,292
I am no longer able
to publish my books in Germany,

70
00:07:14,459 --> 00:07:19,626
and it seems to me
that during these last days in Brazil,

71
00:07:19,792 --> 00:07:23,876
I have encountered more friendship
than normally in years.

72
00:07:24,042 --> 00:07:25,417
Please.

73
00:07:42,876 --> 00:07:44,876
Thank you very much.

74
00:07:55,042 --> 00:07:56,251
But...

75
00:07:58,709 --> 00:08:03,792
But apart from the personal joys
your country has given me,

76
00:08:03,959 --> 00:08:05,959
apart from its beauty,

77
00:08:06,126 --> 00:08:09,667
its daring architecture...

78
00:08:10,376 --> 00:08:14,751
there is an even more powerful impression

79
00:08:14,917 --> 00:08:18,167
that I would like to share with you.

80
00:08:19,292 --> 00:08:22,501
Every nation, in every generation,

81
00:08:22,667 --> 00:08:24,501
and therefore ours too,

82
00:08:24,667 --> 00:08:29,792
must find an answer to
the most simple and vital question of all:

83
00:08:30,334 --> 00:08:35,959
How do we achieve a peaceful coexistence
in today's world

84
00:08:36,126 --> 00:08:38,209
despite all our differences

85
00:08:38,376 --> 00:08:39,459
in race,

86
00:08:39,626 --> 00:08:40,876
class

87
00:08:41,042 --> 00:08:42,709
and religion?

88
00:08:43,584 --> 00:08:47,959
And it seems to me
that Brazil has found an answer,

89
00:08:48,126 --> 00:08:51,834
even though not only its vegetation
but also its population

90
00:08:52,001 --> 00:08:55,043
are more diverse in color than in Europe.

91
00:08:55,209 --> 00:08:59,209
Since my arrival in the Bay of Rio,

92
00:08:59,376 --> 00:09:01,209
it has seemed to me

93
00:09:01,376 --> 00:09:03,876
like a vision of the future.

94
00:09:04,501 --> 00:09:05,542
Thank you.

95
00:09:44,376 --> 00:09:51,751
Buenos Aires, Argentina
September 1936

96
00:09:52,001 --> 00:09:53,292
Excuse me.

97
00:09:58,751 --> 00:10:00,334
Make way, please.

98
00:10:03,126 --> 00:10:04,542
Señor Zweig?

99
00:10:04,709 --> 00:10:07,042
Excuse me, gentlemen.

100
00:10:08,376 --> 00:10:10,376
Señor, would you sign my book?

101
00:10:10,542 --> 00:10:12,542
Señor Zweig, a photograph, please.

102
00:10:12,709 --> 00:10:14,167
A Photograph.

103
00:10:17,042 --> 00:10:19,667
Señor Zweig, please look this way,
at the camera.

104
00:10:19,834 --> 00:10:22,042
A photograph, please.

105
00:10:24,626 --> 00:10:26,959
Once more, please.

106
00:10:27,126 --> 00:10:29,084
Monsieur Zweig, this way, please.

107
00:10:29,251 --> 00:10:32,667
Mr. Brainin!
- I was afraid you'd forgotten me.

108
00:10:32,834 --> 00:10:34,251
My colleagues are upstairs.

109
00:10:34,417 --> 00:10:37,667
I'll have your coat checked.
- Thank you.

110
00:10:39,001 --> 00:10:41,042
How is your father?
- Fine.

111
00:10:41,542 --> 00:10:45,459
He's writing and translating.
His work means more than his grandchildren.

112
00:10:45,626 --> 00:10:46,876
Excellent. How old is he?

113
00:10:47,042 --> 00:10:48,792
Mid-80s?
- Yes.

114
00:10:48,959 --> 00:10:52,209
All I can say is: Belarus.
He will outlive us all.

115
00:10:52,376 --> 00:10:53,792
This way, please.

116
00:10:53,959 --> 00:10:55,626
Dr. Zweig...

117
00:10:56,334 --> 00:10:58,042
Ah, Mr. Leivick.

118
00:11:00,042 --> 00:11:01,709
Good morning.
- How do you do?

119
00:11:01,876 --> 00:11:03,334
Señor Oppenheimer.

120
00:11:03,501 --> 00:11:06,042
Señor Sadler, yes?
- I'm impressed.

121
00:11:06,542 --> 00:11:09,500
Adolfo Hirsch,
also a founder of the Refugee Aid.

122
00:11:09,667 --> 00:11:11,959
I am honored.

123
00:11:12,126 --> 00:11:14,042
I am honored to help.

124
00:11:14,209 --> 00:11:17,751
Your work
is far more important than ours, right?

125
00:11:17,917 --> 00:11:21,167
Like the interview
Mr. Brainin needs to whisk me away to.

126
00:11:21,334 --> 00:11:24,376
Off you go.
See you at your reading tomorrow evening.

127
00:11:24,542 --> 00:11:26,584
Looking forward to it.

128
00:11:29,001 --> 00:11:33,001
Promote it well so we can really cash in!
- You jest. We sold out long ago.

129
00:11:35,334 --> 00:11:38,542
Did you know that,
aside from Palestine and the USA,

130
00:11:38,709 --> 00:11:40,959
Buenos Aires is taking in
the most emigrants?

131
00:11:42,876 --> 00:11:47,376
Because you can still enter
without going through transit countries.

132
00:11:47,792 --> 00:11:49,292
So, here we are.

133
00:11:51,376 --> 00:11:52,751
Finally!

134
00:11:54,626 --> 00:11:56,542
Please, take a seat here.

135
00:11:56,709 --> 00:11:57,959
My pleasure.
- Señor Zweig.

136
00:11:58,126 --> 00:11:59,251
The pleasure is all mine.

137
00:11:59,417 --> 00:12:01,584
Martinez, La Prensa.
- Nice to meet you.

138
00:12:01,751 --> 00:12:02,834
Water, Dr. Zweig?

139
00:12:04,001 --> 00:12:05,543
Coffee, please.

140
00:12:07,792 --> 00:12:08,834
Impressive.

141
00:12:09,459 --> 00:12:12,584
A single-lens reflex camera.
And where does it come from?

142
00:12:12,876 --> 00:12:14,084
Germany.

143
00:12:14,334 --> 00:12:16,001
You've also been to Germany?
- No.

144
00:12:16,334 --> 00:12:18,542
Just to a good school. May I?

145
00:12:19,126 --> 00:12:22,667
So we can speak German?
- My German ends with the menu.

146
00:12:26,292 --> 00:12:28,459
Then let's get started, gentlemen.

147
00:12:31,167 --> 00:12:36,001
Dr. Zweig, what political significance
can a writers' congress have?

148
00:12:36,667 --> 00:12:40,250
In these ten days 80 writers
from 50 nations will come together.

149
00:12:40,417 --> 00:12:42,209
An enormous intellectual potential.

150
00:12:42,751 --> 00:12:47,251
Even if the PEN Club is a small
organization in the material sense.

151
00:12:47,792 --> 00:12:51,167
Compare us to a tiny passenger ship

152
00:12:51,376 --> 00:12:54,709
weaving between battleships,
destroyers and aircraft carriers

153
00:12:54,876 --> 00:12:56,917
across the Seven Seas.

154
00:12:57,626 --> 00:13:00,626
But the flag that we raise
is of immense significance.

155
00:13:00,792 --> 00:13:03,959
It stands for freedom of thought,
freedom of expression,

156
00:13:04,167 --> 00:13:05,917
and international understanding.

157
00:13:06,084 --> 00:13:07,459
It is the white flag.

158
00:13:07,626 --> 00:13:10,084
And today, more than ever,
I am its loyal bearer.

159
00:13:10,584 --> 00:13:13,709
On August 26th...
- Excuse me.

160
00:13:15,292 --> 00:13:18,751
Señor Zweig,
you and your colleague Emil Ludwig

161
00:13:18,959 --> 00:13:22,209
are the only representatives
of German literature at this congress.

162
00:13:22,376 --> 00:13:26,959
What do you think
about the latest events in Germany?

163
00:13:38,834 --> 00:13:41,042
I haven't been to Germany for four years.

164
00:13:43,042 --> 00:13:44,876
But you follow the events,

165
00:13:45,042 --> 00:13:47,709
you're in contact
with people who left Germany?

166
00:13:50,459 --> 00:13:53,334
People who have left Germany
or only go to visit

167
00:13:53,542 --> 00:13:56,792
cannot really know what's happening there.

168
00:13:57,459 --> 00:14:02,584
Whether new alliances are forming
that may turn everything upside down.

169
00:14:02,751 --> 00:14:04,417
I just spent ten days in Brazil.

170
00:14:04,584 --> 00:14:07,834
I couldn't say if the people
are satisfied with President Vargas,

171
00:14:08,042 --> 00:14:10,584
even if that was my impression.

172
00:14:11,084 --> 00:14:13,834
You can't compare Hitler's Germany
with a moderate government...

173
00:14:14,376 --> 00:14:15,292
Gentlemen!

174
00:14:15,751 --> 00:14:17,751
Calm down. One at a time.

175
00:14:18,417 --> 00:14:20,417
Mr. Brainin, please.

176
00:14:23,209 --> 00:14:26,251
The 8th Nuremberg Rally begins today.

177
00:14:29,251 --> 00:14:31,542
I know that, Mr. Brainin.

178
00:14:31,709 --> 00:14:33,376
What is your question?

179
00:14:35,084 --> 00:14:37,417
Ten days ago, on August 26th,
it was announced

180
00:14:37,584 --> 00:14:41,084
that military service in Germany
will be increased to two years.

181
00:14:41,251 --> 00:14:44,751
They waited until the end of the Olympics
to make the announcement.

182
00:14:44,917 --> 00:14:47,750
Certain conclusions can be drawn from this.

183
00:14:48,292 --> 00:14:49,875
That is correct.

184
00:14:52,834 --> 00:14:55,376
What conclusions do you draw, Dr. Zweig?

185
00:14:56,667 --> 00:15:00,167
Predictions about Germany are impossible.

186
00:15:00,959 --> 00:15:04,417
Every prediction
has turned out to be false.

187
00:15:05,626 --> 00:15:08,459
I will not make any predictions.

188
00:15:09,792 --> 00:15:10,834
Dr. Zweig.

189
00:15:11,376 --> 00:15:13,001
I love your works,

190
00:15:13,876 --> 00:15:16,334
and I love the German language.

191
00:15:16,876 --> 00:15:19,251
Would you agree when I say

192
00:15:19,417 --> 00:15:23,209
that Germany is preparing for war

193
00:15:23,376 --> 00:15:26,042
and is on the path to barbarism?

194
00:15:28,292 --> 00:15:32,001
I read the papers as you do,
and I'm tormented.

195
00:15:32,501 --> 00:15:35,292
But we who cannot be radical

196
00:15:35,626 --> 00:15:40,251
should not let ourselves descend to the
intellectual level of our adversaries.

197
00:15:41,751 --> 00:15:44,876
I will not speak out against Germany.

198
00:15:45,042 --> 00:15:48,251
I would never speak out
against any country.

199
00:15:48,417 --> 00:15:50,584
And I'll make no exceptions.

200
00:15:53,209 --> 00:15:57,626
So politics will have to get by
without your voice?

201
00:15:57,792 --> 00:16:00,959
And, by consequence,
also the victims of politics?

202
00:16:01,126 --> 00:16:04,959
The congress will discuss
the function of the writer in society.

203
00:16:05,126 --> 00:16:07,167
What, in your opinion, is his function?

204
00:16:11,167 --> 00:16:14,084
The intellectual
should devote himself to his works.

205
00:16:14,251 --> 00:16:16,209
That is his most powerful tool.

206
00:16:16,626 --> 00:16:20,626
I'm starting to hate politics, because
it's becoming the opposite of justice,

207
00:16:20,792 --> 00:16:23,334
because it betrays the word
with the slogan.

208
00:16:23,792 --> 00:16:27,209
To be an intellectual means to be just,

209
00:16:27,376 --> 00:16:33,001
to summon up an understanding
for one's counterpart and adversaries.

210
00:16:33,584 --> 00:16:38,876
An artist can create works
with political dimensions,

211
00:16:39,042 --> 00:16:44,376
but cannot supply the masses
with political slogans.

212
00:16:45,167 --> 00:16:50,084
My personal artistic strength
derives from the positive.

213
00:16:50,917 --> 00:16:53,084
I can only write for something.

214
00:16:53,251 --> 00:16:56,626
I cannot attack.
I cannot write out of hatred.

215
00:16:56,792 --> 00:16:58,209
And if...

216
00:17:00,167 --> 00:17:05,584
If my silence is a sign of weakness,
I'm afraid I must live with that stigma.

217
00:17:13,876 --> 00:17:16,792
Werfel wrote about
the Armenian Revolt of 1915.

218
00:17:17,042 --> 00:17:21,292
And our current political situation
gives the book an explosiveness

219
00:17:21,459 --> 00:17:25,042
that is frankly
a godsend for its publisher.

220
00:17:25,209 --> 00:17:26,459
I allow myself to say so,

221
00:17:26,626 --> 00:17:30,292
after seeing Werfel's shock
at the fate of the Armenian orphans.

222
00:17:31,001 --> 00:17:33,459
They were the catalyst for that novel.

223
00:17:33,626 --> 00:17:36,667
His book would never have
unfolded such power

224
00:17:36,834 --> 00:17:40,334
if he had used the children
only to write about Adolf Hitler.

225
00:17:41,709 --> 00:17:46,376
Can that book be compared
to your Erasmus of Rotterdam?

226
00:17:46,626 --> 00:17:48,501
I would be pleased if it were.

227
00:17:49,084 --> 00:17:52,126
Today Europe is caught
between fascism and democracy.

228
00:17:52,292 --> 00:17:55,500
Back then, it was divided
by Catholicism and Protestantism.

229
00:17:55,709 --> 00:17:59,917
Erasmus put himself between the two fronts
and tried to unite the world.

230
00:18:00,084 --> 00:18:02,709
And we who believe in a future Europe

231
00:18:02,876 --> 00:18:05,417
should remember that first European,

232
00:18:05,584 --> 00:18:07,917
that ardent advocate of peace.

233
00:18:08,376 --> 00:18:10,167
Even though he failed.

234
00:18:12,626 --> 00:18:17,501
So you believe
that a peaceful Europe is possible?

235
00:18:18,584 --> 00:18:19,626
Yes.

236
00:18:20,209 --> 00:18:22,251
I believe in a free Europe.

237
00:18:23,084 --> 00:18:27,584
I believe that borders and passports
will one day be history.

238
00:18:28,709 --> 00:18:31,459
But I doubt we'll live to experience it.

239
00:18:32,167 --> 00:18:36,875
My pessimism regarding the immediate future
was unfortunately always justified.

240
00:18:37,042 --> 00:18:41,834
I can only invest my hope in
the larger movements that span centuries.

241
00:18:42,584 --> 00:18:46,376
But for me,
and thus unfortunately for you, too,

242
00:18:46,542 --> 00:18:48,084
they will come too late.

243
00:18:57,167 --> 00:19:01,501
I apologize, but Monsieur Zweig is required
at the assembly that is about to begin.

244
00:19:01,667 --> 00:19:05,251
Gentlemen, thank you for listening.
- Thank you.

245
00:19:10,626 --> 00:19:12,251
I'll see you out.

246
00:19:14,792 --> 00:19:16,626
Monsieur Aita, where is...

247
00:19:16,792 --> 00:19:19,876
On the left, the second door.
- Thank you.

248
00:19:28,334 --> 00:19:31,834
Señor Aita, where is he?
- On his way. He's almost here.

249
00:19:36,084 --> 00:19:39,709
Signore Marinetti, good morning.
- Good morning, Signore Duhamel.

250
00:19:39,876 --> 00:19:41,876
Signore Ungaretti.
- Good morning.

251
00:19:49,876 --> 00:19:51,542
Mr. Brainin.

252
00:19:55,459 --> 00:19:57,126
Dr. Zweig.

253
00:19:58,417 --> 00:20:00,959
I see it as my duty to pressure you.

254
00:20:01,751 --> 00:20:03,626
I am determined not to let you go

255
00:20:03,792 --> 00:20:08,376
before I get a printable condemnation
of the Hitler regime.

256
00:20:08,542 --> 00:20:11,167
Mr. Brainin, we're an ocean away.

257
00:20:11,334 --> 00:20:13,542
And that compels me to remain silent?

258
00:20:13,709 --> 00:20:16,792
I know what is going on in Germany.

259
00:20:16,959 --> 00:20:18,751
You misunderstand me.

260
00:20:21,417 --> 00:20:24,251
You and I are not only far away,

261
00:20:24,417 --> 00:20:28,417
for the moment, we are among the few
who have nothing to fear.

262
00:20:29,126 --> 00:20:31,917
Excuse me. Good morning.

263
00:20:32,084 --> 00:20:34,876
That's why we should avoid polemics.

264
00:20:35,209 --> 00:20:38,542
I will not pass judgment
on the other side of the world

265
00:20:38,751 --> 00:20:42,084
in a room full of like-minded people.

266
00:20:42,251 --> 00:20:44,542
It would be obscene

267
00:20:44,709 --> 00:20:47,251
and meaninglessly fade away.

268
00:20:48,709 --> 00:20:53,084
Every gesture of resistance
which is void of either risk or impact

269
00:20:53,251 --> 00:20:55,834
is nothing but a cry for recognition.

270
00:20:57,584 --> 00:20:59,292
I really have to go now.

271
00:21:02,417 --> 00:21:06,251
I'm still considering that magazine
I told you about in New York.

272
00:21:06,417 --> 00:21:08,625
The best works by contemporary Jews,

273
00:21:08,792 --> 00:21:10,417
scientists, writers...

274
00:21:10,626 --> 00:21:13,876
No polemics, just intellectual quality.

275
00:21:15,626 --> 00:21:19,751
That could be an answer
to the alleged "Aryan superiority".

276
00:21:19,917 --> 00:21:22,167
You think you could fight
a dictatorship like that?

277
00:21:22,334 --> 00:21:24,459
We are really late now.

278
00:21:24,626 --> 00:21:29,542
Heard the latest? The congress won't even
agree to a statement condemning Franco.

279
00:21:29,709 --> 00:21:33,209
Instead it will express its sympathy
to "all the people of Spain".

280
00:21:33,376 --> 00:21:35,042
Isn't that scandalous?

281
00:21:37,667 --> 00:21:39,626
You don't let up, do you?

282
00:21:41,126 --> 00:21:43,792
I came from New York
just for this interview.

283
00:21:43,959 --> 00:21:45,251
I'm Jewish.

284
00:21:45,417 --> 00:21:46,959
So is he.

285
00:21:47,126 --> 00:21:49,959
But it's his voice that counts, not mine.

286
00:21:50,126 --> 00:21:53,334
Next to Thomas Mann,
he is the most read German writer,

287
00:21:53,501 --> 00:21:55,042
yet he refuses to take a stand.

288
00:21:56,334 --> 00:21:58,792
He defends his independence.

289
00:21:59,667 --> 00:22:01,709
His island as an artist.

290
00:22:02,334 --> 00:22:03,834
No, he's a coward.

291
00:22:04,001 --> 00:22:05,584
Self-centered and timid.

292
00:22:06,126 --> 00:22:08,251
Mr. Brainin, you are going too far.

293
00:22:08,834 --> 00:22:11,126
The opposite is true, Mr. Martinez:

294
00:22:11,292 --> 00:22:13,417
You don't go far enough.

295
00:22:13,584 --> 00:22:16,917
There are no islands left.
Do you see what I mean?

296
00:22:17,084 --> 00:22:19,251
There is no independence left.

297
00:22:22,709 --> 00:22:25,251
Hurry up!
- I can't run than quickly.

298
00:22:25,417 --> 00:22:27,042
His island flooded long ago.

299
00:22:27,209 --> 00:22:31,167
And one day soon he'll have to swim
in one direction or the other.

300
00:22:34,751 --> 00:22:38,917
...but perhaps
there are great Nazi writers.

301
00:22:39,084 --> 00:22:41,251
Who are they?

302
00:22:41,417 --> 00:22:46,042
The man who has reached
the top of the new literary hierarchy,

303
00:22:46,209 --> 00:22:50,626
a man named Blunck,
president of the Reich Chamber of Culture,

304
00:22:50,792 --> 00:22:54,209
has just published a book
claiming that the Americas

305
00:22:54,376 --> 00:22:58,126
were not discovered
by a Spaniard or a Genoese,

306
00:22:58,292 --> 00:23:00,292
as you may have assumed until now,

307
00:23:00,501 --> 00:23:04,417
but by a particular Dietrich Penning,

308
00:23:05,334 --> 00:23:07,334
a Dane of Germanic descent.

309
00:23:07,792 --> 00:23:11,584
I'm afraid, you'll have to replace
your lovely Columbus monument

310
00:23:11,751 --> 00:23:13,876
with a monument for Penning now.

311
00:23:15,501 --> 00:23:18,542
But even more exciting is the Jesus issue.

312
00:23:18,751 --> 00:23:22,043
How to avoid the fact that he was a Jew?

313
00:23:23,209 --> 00:23:24,667
Oh, that's easy:

314
00:23:24,834 --> 00:23:27,459
Another German professor,
Franz von Wendrin,

315
00:23:28,334 --> 00:23:34,584
has proven that Jesus was "in fact" Aryan,
and born in Mecklenburg.

316
00:23:35,626 --> 00:23:40,626
You see how degenerate
Kant's descendants have become.

317
00:23:40,792 --> 00:23:45,292
Nearly all of Goethe's books
have been banned from schools.

318
00:23:45,459 --> 00:23:51,792
Can an international writers' congress
remain indifferent to such matters?

319
00:23:53,417 --> 00:23:57,000
The "spoken notion"

320
00:23:58,167 --> 00:24:00,834
is the reason we have all gathered here:

321
00:24:01,001 --> 00:24:02,876
the freedom to think it,

322
00:24:03,542 --> 00:24:05,834
the freedom to express it,

323
00:24:06,001 --> 00:24:09,292
in equality and fraternity for all mankind.

324
00:24:09,459 --> 00:24:13,542
A maxim as simple and as great

325
00:24:13,709 --> 00:24:15,959
as the word "human dignity".

326
00:24:16,542 --> 00:24:20,667
A maxim that every dictatorship denies,

327
00:24:20,834 --> 00:24:24,084
as it would otherwise cease
to be a dictatorship.

328
00:24:24,251 --> 00:24:26,334
Germany, as we all know,

329
00:24:27,126 --> 00:24:29,709
left the PEN's international community

330
00:24:29,876 --> 00:24:33,292
already in November 1933.

331
00:24:34,334 --> 00:24:39,959
I was warned not to mention
that evil word "war".

332
00:24:40,126 --> 00:24:42,376
Again and again,
we writers are being invited

333
00:24:42,917 --> 00:24:46,709
to stay within
this intellectual Garden of Eden.

334
00:24:46,876 --> 00:24:50,418
And yes, I would also prefer to linger

335
00:24:50,584 --> 00:24:54,209
in the blessed discussion
between America and Asia,

336
00:24:54,376 --> 00:24:58,584
as represented here yesterday
by two beautiful ladies.

337
00:24:59,126 --> 00:25:01,001
My compliments, Señora Ocampo,

338
00:25:01,459 --> 00:25:04,709
chairwoman of the Argentine PEN Club.

339
00:25:06,917 --> 00:25:08,667
And Madame Sophia Wadia,

340
00:25:08,876 --> 00:25:11,209
delegate from faraway India.

341
00:25:15,292 --> 00:25:17,042
But I must,

342
00:25:17,542 --> 00:25:20,001
to my deep regret,

343
00:25:20,167 --> 00:25:23,542
address you with
more substantial and bitter words:

344
00:25:24,501 --> 00:25:26,376
From one congress to the next,

345
00:25:26,542 --> 00:25:30,376
we witness how
the number of censored countries

346
00:25:30,959 --> 00:25:32,834
is increasing.

347
00:25:33,084 --> 00:25:35,626
Should we be able to
meet again before the war,

348
00:25:35,792 --> 00:25:39,334
this number will have increased again.

349
00:25:39,501 --> 00:25:43,751
Where is the line
between literature and politics?

350
00:25:44,251 --> 00:25:48,584
Is it possible that not all of us
in this convention hall

351
00:25:48,751 --> 00:25:52,751
are of the same opinion about war?

352
00:25:54,126 --> 00:25:57,793
I speak up, because I feel
it is my duty to warn you.

353
00:25:57,959 --> 00:26:03,626
The fate of German-language writers
could be your fate tomorrow.

354
00:26:03,792 --> 00:26:05,959
When in a hundred years an historian

355
00:26:06,126 --> 00:26:08,751
mentions a congress of thinkers and artists

356
00:26:09,001 --> 00:26:12,126
that took place in 1936,

357
00:26:12,292 --> 00:26:14,792
he will no longer be able to claim

358
00:26:14,959 --> 00:26:18,917
that this congress remained silent
in the face of those dangers

359
00:26:19,126 --> 00:26:23,084
that threatened the intellect
and the servants of the intellect.

360
00:26:23,251 --> 00:26:25,376
Thank you for your attention.

361
00:27:03,167 --> 00:27:04,959
Ladies and gentlemen...

362
00:27:06,584 --> 00:27:11,292
I don't believe we're mixing
with the dangerous world of politics

363
00:27:11,751 --> 00:27:14,417
when I propose to honor

364
00:27:14,584 --> 00:27:19,917
all those German-language writers
who have been forced into exile,

365
00:27:20,667 --> 00:27:24,417
forced to live in a foreign country
or have been imprisoned

366
00:27:24,626 --> 00:27:27,334
in a concentration camp.

367
00:27:27,834 --> 00:27:30,542
We think of...

368
00:28:32,626 --> 00:28:38,168
Let us reaffirm our brotherly,
profoundly heart-felt sympathy,

369
00:28:39,501 --> 00:28:41,876
and send them courage

370
00:28:42,209 --> 00:28:43,876
and hope.

371
00:29:16,709 --> 00:29:20,667
Before the discussion is continued
with Mr. Figueiredo's speech

372
00:29:20,834 --> 00:29:24,501
we will hear the translation
of Mr. Ludwig's speech.

373
00:29:24,667 --> 00:29:27,542
Firstly in Spanish, then in French.

374
00:29:30,501 --> 00:29:35,084
Esteemed delegates, I have the honor of
speaking to you on behalf of the exiled...

375
00:29:35,542 --> 00:29:39,292
Would you like to attend
Madame Ocampo's private banquet?

376
00:29:39,459 --> 00:29:41,667
I have to confirm by noon.

377
00:29:41,876 --> 00:29:44,417
One afternoon in May in 1933,

378
00:29:44,626 --> 00:29:48,292
I had the honor of sharing the fate
of my most esteemed contemporaries

379
00:29:48,459 --> 00:29:50,834
on a certain pyre.

380
00:29:51,751 --> 00:29:54,584
I took up my place
between Heinrich Heine and Spinoza.

381
00:29:54,792 --> 00:30:02,209
Bahia Province, Brazil
January 1941

382
00:30:03,417 --> 00:30:05,167
...quite different

383
00:30:05,334 --> 00:30:07,501
depending on the region.

384
00:30:07,667 --> 00:30:09,917
They can live for 20 years,

385
00:30:10,084 --> 00:30:12,876
but here they usually last five.

386
00:30:13,042 --> 00:30:15,959
The sugar cane here
can live for five years.

387
00:30:16,709 --> 00:30:18,917
We cut it off just above the ground,

388
00:30:19,084 --> 00:30:21,542
the stalk. The stump will sprout again.

389
00:30:21,709 --> 00:30:25,834
And then it takes 12 months
for them to look like this.

390
00:30:26,001 --> 00:30:28,584
They cut the stalk and it takes...

391
00:30:28,751 --> 00:30:30,042
12?
- 12.

392
00:30:30,209 --> 00:30:33,042
12 months until it's fully grown.

393
00:30:33,584 --> 00:30:36,959
And how...
- Yes?

394
00:30:37,126 --> 00:30:39,167
How do you plant them?

395
00:30:39,334 --> 00:30:41,667
That's the easiest part.

396
00:30:42,542 --> 00:30:46,292
We use shoots from the lower section.

397
00:30:46,459 --> 00:30:49,626
They should have two to four knots.

398
00:30:49,792 --> 00:30:51,709
The stalk should have four knots.

399
00:30:52,834 --> 00:30:56,501
You put the shoots in the ground,
so they are lightly covered by soil.

400
00:30:56,792 --> 00:30:58,917
You put the stalks in the ground.

401
00:31:01,376 --> 00:31:04,209
Do you know how many shoots
we plant per hectare?

402
00:31:05,209 --> 00:31:08,834
He asks if you know how many shoots
they plant per hectare.

403
00:31:09,001 --> 00:31:10,292
No. No idea.

404
00:31:12,042 --> 00:31:13,709
About 20,000, I'd say.

405
00:31:15,376 --> 00:31:17,167
Remarkable!

406
00:31:17,542 --> 00:31:19,292
Here. Try it.

407
00:31:21,376 --> 00:31:22,792
It's edible.

408
00:31:22,959 --> 00:31:24,709
You have to chew it. It's sweet.

409
00:31:25,792 --> 00:31:27,084
Very sweet.

410
00:31:33,459 --> 00:31:36,126
Delicious. Very sweet.

411
00:31:36,709 --> 00:31:38,376
What did I tell you?

412
00:31:41,084 --> 00:31:46,459
Do you know how many pounds of sugar cane
a good worker can harvest a day?

413
00:31:59,167 --> 00:32:02,584
He certainly wouldn't work here for long.

414
00:32:03,251 --> 00:32:05,167
Give it another try.

415
00:32:05,334 --> 00:32:07,167
Well, perhaps...

416
00:32:08,376 --> 00:32:09,876
I have no idea.

417
00:32:10,417 --> 00:32:11,501
Stefan,

418
00:32:11,751 --> 00:32:14,126
help me, I'm making a fool of myself.

419
00:32:15,876 --> 00:32:19,584
Vitor, are you all right?
- Everything's fine. Don't worry.

420
00:32:19,751 --> 00:32:22,459
Go ahead, I'll get Señor Zweig.

421
00:32:24,459 --> 00:32:25,834
Señor Zweig!

422
00:33:13,834 --> 00:33:15,251
Begone!

423
00:33:33,209 --> 00:33:35,834
Does the Senhora also have children?

424
00:33:36,001 --> 00:33:38,501
No. I don't have children.

425
00:33:41,042 --> 00:33:42,876
I have seven.

426
00:33:44,084 --> 00:33:46,792
The oldest is 17 years old.

427
00:33:46,959 --> 00:33:49,584
The youngest is two and a half.

428
00:33:51,417 --> 00:33:54,834
We... travel a lot.

429
00:33:55,376 --> 00:33:58,126
It's... difficult with children.

430
00:34:01,251 --> 00:34:03,209
Where do you live?

431
00:34:05,126 --> 00:34:07,876
For five months... we've been traveling.

432
00:34:08,667 --> 00:34:12,292
Three months Rio, Argentina,
Uruguay, Venezuela.

433
00:34:13,417 --> 00:34:17,334
My husband holds speeches... does readings.

434
00:34:18,876 --> 00:34:23,334
We have a house in England, but...

435
00:34:24,209 --> 00:34:25,667
the war...

436
00:34:25,834 --> 00:34:27,917
That's why we have to...

437
00:34:28,084 --> 00:34:29,042
leave.

438
00:34:29,876 --> 00:34:33,459
Is the Senhora English?
- No, no. German.

439
00:34:33,626 --> 00:34:35,667
But for six years...

440
00:34:36,167 --> 00:34:38,292
no longer in Germany.

441
00:34:38,876 --> 00:34:40,417
Why?

442
00:34:40,584 --> 00:34:42,292
The war.

443
00:34:42,459 --> 00:34:44,376
We are Jews.

444
00:34:47,001 --> 00:34:48,792
Difficult...

445
00:34:50,167 --> 00:34:51,959
Many people...

446
00:34:52,876 --> 00:34:54,667
Many people are...

447
00:34:54,834 --> 00:34:56,626
There is no war here.

448
00:34:57,876 --> 00:35:01,709
You're young.
Perhaps you'll have children here.

449
00:35:03,709 --> 00:35:05,001
What's wrong with him?

450
00:35:05,167 --> 00:35:06,584
Sorry, Señora Zweig.

451
00:35:07,376 --> 00:35:09,209
We're very late.

452
00:35:17,042 --> 00:35:18,917
Where were you?

453
00:35:19,084 --> 00:35:23,001
I wrote the telegram to Cata's daughter
on behalf of Eisemann.

454
00:35:23,167 --> 00:35:27,334
It's the most inappropriate moment,
but I don't know who else to turn to.

455
00:35:30,209 --> 00:35:34,626
We'll call Hanna and Manfred to say
we'll be in New York to look after Eva.

456
00:35:34,792 --> 00:35:37,417
We really mustn't miss that plane.

457
00:35:46,126 --> 00:35:48,792
Oh no, Vitor!
- I'm fine.

458
00:35:48,959 --> 00:35:50,959
You're fine?
- Yes, thank you.

459
00:35:55,792 --> 00:35:57,376
Go straight ahead!

460
00:36:27,251 --> 00:36:28,542
Everything there?

461
00:36:28,709 --> 00:36:31,542
Passports, Brazilian residence permits,

462
00:36:31,792 --> 00:36:33,376
plane tickets,

463
00:36:33,542 --> 00:36:35,417
visas,

464
00:36:35,584 --> 00:36:38,292
fingerprints, photographs,

465
00:36:38,459 --> 00:36:40,042
speech invitations.

466
00:36:40,209 --> 00:36:43,751
Tomorrow we'll get the luggage tickets,
the luggage insurance,

467
00:36:43,917 --> 00:36:46,334
and the customs certificate.

468
00:36:47,292 --> 00:36:51,000
Where are we going to get changed?
In New York it's minus 15.

469
00:37:16,834 --> 00:37:17,626
Vitor,

470
00:37:18,626 --> 00:37:20,626
can't we drive directly to Recife?

471
00:37:20,917 --> 00:37:22,709
No, that's impossible.

472
00:37:22,959 --> 00:37:24,917
It's a five-hour drive, plus the flights.

473
00:37:25,084 --> 00:37:26,709
Please, don't do that to me.

474
00:37:26,876 --> 00:37:30,334
You know that the mayor wanted
to welcome you at the town hall.

475
00:37:30,501 --> 00:37:32,667
He agreed to move it all to the fazenda.

476
00:37:32,917 --> 00:37:34,667
He'll kill me if we don't come.

477
00:37:34,834 --> 00:37:36,959
Not a day goes by without a reception.

478
00:37:37,459 --> 00:37:40,834
So many people every time, it's too much.

479
00:37:41,501 --> 00:37:45,709
But Dos Santos knows my father...
- Can we send a telegram from the fazenda?

480
00:37:48,167 --> 00:37:48,917
I don't know.

481
00:37:49,084 --> 00:37:52,542
It's about a visa for a friend from London.
It's important!

482
00:37:52,709 --> 00:37:54,751
Cuba's ambassador had promised it,

483
00:37:55,417 --> 00:37:57,167
but he suddenly died.

484
00:37:57,542 --> 00:37:59,376
Now we must ask his daughter.

485
00:38:01,792 --> 00:38:04,792
Perhaps I could talk to de Souza
about a Brazilian visa.

486
00:38:05,001 --> 00:38:06,792
Brazil stopped issuing visas to Jews.

487
00:38:07,459 --> 00:38:08,959
Is that true?

488
00:38:12,376 --> 00:38:15,959
We will find someone to send
the telegram from Cachoeira.

489
00:38:16,126 --> 00:38:17,376
I'll see to it.

490
00:38:17,542 --> 00:38:19,792
Good.
It's off to the mayor's reception we go.

491
00:38:23,167 --> 00:38:26,042
Seriously, I have no idea
how we should do it.

492
00:38:26,209 --> 00:38:28,459
Tomorrow, Belem-Trinidad,
six and a half hours,

493
00:38:28,709 --> 00:38:30,501
Trinidad-Miami, nine and a half hours.

494
00:38:30,667 --> 00:38:33,209
Then Miami-New York, another nine hours.

495
00:38:33,376 --> 00:38:36,209
But we can't access our luggage.

496
00:38:36,459 --> 00:38:39,876
It's either our winter coats now,
or we freeze in New York.

497
00:38:41,209 --> 00:38:44,626
A lovely sight: me in my tropical suit
in the New York snow.

498
00:38:46,417 --> 00:38:49,375
I was planning my clown show in New York.

499
00:38:49,542 --> 00:38:51,834
Minus 15 in a thin tropical suit.

500
00:38:53,959 --> 00:38:58,626
Dr. Zweig goes to New York
in his tropical suit! At minus 15!

501
00:39:20,167 --> 00:39:22,667
What? Who?
- They're here already.

502
00:39:24,876 --> 00:39:27,084
Put your jacket on, Bernardo.

503
00:39:27,959 --> 00:39:29,042
Oh my God.

504
00:39:30,334 --> 00:39:32,959
Are we too early?
- No idea.

505
00:39:35,584 --> 00:39:38,209
Stay there for a moment,
I'll be right back.

506
00:39:42,376 --> 00:39:44,001
Wait a minute!

507
00:39:44,167 --> 00:39:47,251
No, no, no!
Don't give me that "wait a minute!"

508
00:39:47,417 --> 00:39:50,500
None of that "Bernardo!" Not now.

509
00:39:56,001 --> 00:39:57,626
Vitor, come! Vitor!

510
00:39:58,876 --> 00:40:02,209
I said: at the town hall...

511
00:40:02,667 --> 00:40:04,209
Poor man.

512
00:40:05,376 --> 00:40:08,084
I hope he doesn't have a heart attack.

513
00:40:09,751 --> 00:40:13,501
Far too late. Half the guests...
Look at this mess.

514
00:40:14,084 --> 00:40:17,292
If we don't move,
they might forget about us.

515
00:40:26,709 --> 00:40:29,709
Senhor. How do you do?

516
00:40:30,376 --> 00:40:34,792
We thought you might like
a pick-me-up in this heat.

517
00:40:34,959 --> 00:40:36,834
It's almost unbearable.

518
00:40:39,042 --> 00:40:41,042
Does he understand us at all?

519
00:40:41,959 --> 00:40:44,542
Thank you so much,
that is very kind of you.

520
00:40:45,459 --> 00:40:48,209
He says "thank you"!

521
00:40:49,376 --> 00:40:53,001
This is a specialty from Bahia, homemade.

522
00:40:56,042 --> 00:40:58,876
Will we cause even more trouble
if we get out?

523
00:40:59,042 --> 00:41:02,792
If we want to get to Recife today,
we have no other choice.

524
00:41:05,542 --> 00:41:06,667
Claudia!

525
00:41:08,459 --> 00:41:11,042
Look how beautiful she is! How do you do?

526
00:41:11,751 --> 00:41:12,834
Senhor!

527
00:41:14,792 --> 00:41:17,584
Bernardo, you are the mayor.

528
00:41:18,001 --> 00:41:20,084
You can do this.

529
00:41:21,542 --> 00:41:24,959
Don't eat it all at once...
- It isn't that bad.

530
00:41:25,126 --> 00:41:27,584
Someone has to tell you, right?

531
00:41:29,042 --> 00:41:31,292
Because it's the truth.

532
00:41:44,417 --> 00:41:46,167
No, not there.

533
00:41:48,084 --> 00:41:50,292
Oh, please! This can't be...

534
00:41:50,751 --> 00:41:53,751
Calm down, Bernardo.
Take a deep breath.

535
00:41:55,667 --> 00:41:58,459
Would you sign your book?

536
00:41:58,959 --> 00:42:01,834
Nobody understands women like you do.

537
00:42:02,584 --> 00:42:04,459
Get out of the way.

538
00:42:04,959 --> 00:42:06,917
My dear Senhora Zweig.

539
00:42:09,334 --> 00:42:10,459
Dr. Zweig.

540
00:42:11,709 --> 00:42:15,459
You find me grief-stricken. I am
terribly sorry to welcome you like this.

541
00:42:15,626 --> 00:42:17,292
Oh no, I beg you.

542
00:42:17,459 --> 00:42:20,292
We are extremely grateful to you
for welcoming us.

543
00:42:20,459 --> 00:42:24,542
We would gladly have visited you
at your town hall, but...

544
00:42:24,709 --> 00:42:25,917
At the town hall.

545
00:42:26,834 --> 00:42:29,292
We have to catch our plane in Recife

546
00:42:29,459 --> 00:42:31,959
and it's wonderful that you...

547
00:42:32,126 --> 00:42:33,334
The bus broke down.

548
00:42:33,501 --> 00:42:35,334
It had a flat tire.

549
00:42:35,501 --> 00:42:37,751
The guests won't make it.

550
00:42:37,917 --> 00:42:41,876
The bus had a flat tire.
The other guests won't make it.

551
00:42:43,709 --> 00:42:47,792
Please, don't you worry.
It doesn't matter where I am.

552
00:42:49,459 --> 00:42:53,042
Brazil is the most beautiful experience
I can imagine.

553
00:42:53,209 --> 00:42:56,334
We have already seen and experienced
such wonderful things here.

554
00:42:56,501 --> 00:42:59,959
We attended the washing of the church,
the Lavagem do Bon Fim.

555
00:43:00,209 --> 00:43:04,001
Europe may be rich in history,
but Brazil is the land of the future.

556
00:43:04,167 --> 00:43:08,501
A whole town washing their church,
dancing and celebrating.

557
00:43:08,667 --> 00:43:09,917
It was very beautiful.

558
00:43:10,084 --> 00:43:13,959
Yes, the washing of the church, Bernardo.
- Very beautiful...

559
00:43:14,167 --> 00:43:15,251
Very beautiful.

560
00:43:15,417 --> 00:43:18,834
Senhor Dos Santos, a photograph, please.
May I?

561
00:43:19,001 --> 00:43:21,876
Of course, Pedro. Claudia?

562
00:43:22,584 --> 00:43:23,584
Ready.

563
00:43:23,751 --> 00:43:24,834
Go ahead!

564
00:43:26,584 --> 00:43:28,501
That's it.
- One more.

565
00:43:28,667 --> 00:43:31,709
Perfect. Just one more.

566
00:43:32,417 --> 00:43:33,501
Done. Thank you.

567
00:43:33,667 --> 00:43:37,501
And now, please allow me
to address a few words to you.

568
00:43:37,667 --> 00:43:38,376
Please do.

569
00:43:38,584 --> 00:43:40,001
Have a seat, please.

570
00:43:40,209 --> 00:43:42,292
Please.
- Please...

571
00:43:43,126 --> 00:43:44,001
Vitor!

572
00:43:45,626 --> 00:43:47,376
The telegram.
- Yes.

573
00:43:47,542 --> 00:43:49,209
There are two.

574
00:43:51,501 --> 00:43:55,084
The addresses are here.
- All right.

575
00:43:55,626 --> 00:43:59,001
Maria will take the first car to Cachoeira
and send them.

576
00:44:01,417 --> 00:44:02,251
Come.

577
00:44:02,501 --> 00:44:05,959
Dr. Zweig's telegrams. They're urgent.

578
00:44:06,584 --> 00:44:07,751
Thank you.

579
00:44:11,126 --> 00:44:11,876
Claudia!

580
00:44:15,917 --> 00:44:17,042
"Brazil,

581
00:44:18,501 --> 00:44:20,626
it is the land of the future."

582
00:44:21,417 --> 00:44:23,667
These words I just heard from the mouth

583
00:44:23,834 --> 00:44:27,042
of the greatest writer of our time,

584
00:44:27,417 --> 00:44:31,251
who wrote so impressively

585
00:44:31,501 --> 00:44:34,042
about Erasmus,

586
00:44:34,209 --> 00:44:37,084
Maria Stuart, and Fouché.

587
00:44:38,417 --> 00:44:41,042
We have the great honor of welcoming

588
00:44:41,209 --> 00:44:43,959
Stefan Zweig and his honorable wife.

589
00:44:50,084 --> 00:44:51,709
Please come over here.

590
00:44:58,792 --> 00:45:02,334
Welcome, Senhora Zweig.

591
00:45:02,501 --> 00:45:03,792
Thank you.

592
00:45:03,959 --> 00:45:05,792
Thank you very much.

593
00:45:06,542 --> 00:45:07,959
You are welcome.

594
00:45:09,376 --> 00:45:11,417
We all know:

595
00:45:11,584 --> 00:45:15,042
In Europe, war is being waged.
And that is terrible.

596
00:45:16,167 --> 00:45:18,626
But despite all the horror

597
00:45:18,792 --> 00:45:21,334
that every single war causes,

598
00:45:21,501 --> 00:45:25,626
I have succeeded today
in finding some positive in it:

599
00:45:25,917 --> 00:45:28,876
This January 18th, 1941,

600
00:45:29,751 --> 00:45:32,959
will go down in the annals of Cachoeira.

601
00:45:33,126 --> 00:45:36,251
Because our sugar cane, our homeland,

602
00:45:36,417 --> 00:45:41,417
will be immortalized
in a book about Brazil by Stefan Zweig.

603
00:45:42,167 --> 00:45:45,792
How wonderful! Wonderful!

604
00:45:47,542 --> 00:45:48,417
That is why...

605
00:45:49,667 --> 00:45:52,292
we would also like to give you a present,

606
00:45:52,792 --> 00:45:55,834
a present from your homeland,

607
00:45:56,001 --> 00:45:59,042
a musical memory, if you will.

608
00:46:01,876 --> 00:46:04,376
Until peace returns to your country

609
00:46:04,542 --> 00:46:09,251
and enables you and your honorable wife
to return safely

610
00:46:11,001 --> 00:46:12,042
to Austria.

611
00:46:14,626 --> 00:46:18,001
Because, as an old Brazilian saying goes:

612
00:46:18,417 --> 00:46:22,084
"He who has no country
shall have no future."

613
00:46:23,959 --> 00:46:25,334
Music!

614
00:46:44,917 --> 00:46:47,751
Vitor, the flowers are heavy.

615
00:46:50,584 --> 00:46:51,792
Thank you.

616
00:47:58,459 --> 00:48:05,626
New York City, USA
January 1941

617
00:48:16,209 --> 00:48:17,834
I don't believe it.

618
00:48:18,126 --> 00:48:20,001
What did you say?

619
00:48:23,376 --> 00:48:24,792
Stefan?

620
00:48:31,834 --> 00:48:33,917
It really is Landsberg.

621
00:48:34,084 --> 00:48:36,626
Emil Landsberg, would you believe that?

622
00:48:36,792 --> 00:48:40,709
A man who detests my work,
who harmed me every way he could.

623
00:48:40,876 --> 00:48:42,167
Now, don't exaggerate.

624
00:48:42,334 --> 00:48:44,459
I invite him to a preview of "Jeremias",

625
00:48:44,626 --> 00:48:46,667
because I'm stupid enough
to ask his opinion,

626
00:48:46,834 --> 00:48:49,751
and he shares it with all of Vienna
before the opening night.

627
00:48:49,917 --> 00:48:53,126
That's half a lifetime ago.
- So what?

628
00:48:53,292 --> 00:48:57,501
Did he ever apologize?
Or even mention it in this letter?

629
00:48:58,126 --> 00:49:00,667
And he wants me, of all people,
to get him a US visa?

630
00:49:12,459 --> 00:49:14,001
Emil Landsberg?

631
00:49:15,792 --> 00:49:17,542
He never knew "all of Vienna".

632
00:49:18,167 --> 00:49:19,875
Unlike you.

633
00:49:20,501 --> 00:49:23,417
And I doubt that has changed.

634
00:49:23,584 --> 00:49:28,667
Or he wouldn't have to humble himself
to ask you, of all people, for help.

635
00:49:55,001 --> 00:49:58,167
Every visa requires an affidavit.

636
00:49:58,334 --> 00:50:03,209
And that is no longer something
you ask a distant acquaintance for.

637
00:50:07,001 --> 00:50:09,376
I can't believe
I'm having to justify myself.

638
00:50:09,542 --> 00:50:12,209
And I can't believe
that you actually reproach

639
00:50:12,376 --> 00:50:15,459
someone in Landsberg's situation
for a 25 year old insult.

640
00:50:15,626 --> 00:50:18,126
Someone in Landsberg's situation?

641
00:50:18,292 --> 00:50:21,292
Everyone left in Europe
is in Landsberg's situation.

642
00:50:21,459 --> 00:50:25,584
What in God's name do you ask from me?
- Nothing.

643
00:50:32,792 --> 00:50:37,251
Lucka, Masereel, the Ullmanns, Berta,
they all need help.

644
00:50:37,959 --> 00:50:40,084
That's just the letters you gave me.

645
00:50:40,751 --> 00:50:44,376
Ben's coming now. How big is the pile
of letters sent to my publisher?

646
00:50:44,584 --> 00:50:47,001
I've been in New York for four days.
What can I do?

647
00:50:48,459 --> 00:50:52,334
People are asking you for help,
because you can afford it.

648
00:50:52,501 --> 00:50:54,167
Because you're a man of influence.

649
00:50:54,334 --> 00:50:58,584
Know how hard it was to get
Landauer and Landshoff Argentine visas?

650
00:50:58,751 --> 00:51:03,126
At every stop in South America, I sat up
all night writing letters, begging.

651
00:51:03,292 --> 00:51:06,334
I pestered the Cuban ambassador's daughter,

652
00:51:06,501 --> 00:51:08,501
at her father's funeral for Eisemann!

653
00:51:08,667 --> 00:51:11,292
All those ambassadors:
Chermont, Mello Franco...

654
00:51:11,501 --> 00:51:12,792
they pull strings for me.

655
00:51:12,959 --> 00:51:17,209
And I have to ask myself, is there a single
invitation I can turn down? - Nonsense!

656
00:51:17,459 --> 00:51:21,001
No, I only have transit papers myself.
I'm only "tolerated".

657
00:51:21,167 --> 00:51:23,209
You aren't begging for them.

658
00:51:23,542 --> 00:51:26,209
You ask what's necessary,
like everyone else. Erika Mann,

659
00:51:26,501 --> 00:51:31,793
Hermann Kesten...
- Can I stamp a special visa myself?

660
00:51:31,959 --> 00:51:35,167
Every ambassador
is doing me a personal favor.

661
00:51:35,334 --> 00:51:38,584
Then they parade me
from reception to reception.

662
00:51:39,334 --> 00:51:43,334
Because they still think I'm a world-famous
writer. But I was buried long ago.

663
00:51:43,501 --> 00:51:46,334
Just two legs sticking out of the ground.
- Fine.

664
00:51:46,584 --> 00:51:51,792
I don't know Chermont and Mello Franco,
but it clearly seems they want to help.

665
00:51:52,292 --> 00:51:54,792
Without you,
they wouldn't know who to help.

666
00:51:54,959 --> 00:51:56,876
What makes you think you're pestering them?

667
00:51:57,042 --> 00:51:59,209
What makes me think that?

668
00:51:59,376 --> 00:52:01,751
I don't think that. I know it.

669
00:52:02,501 --> 00:52:05,292
Because it's all too much,
it's out of proportion.

670
00:52:05,459 --> 00:52:08,917
Half a continent would flee
to a different one if they could.

671
00:52:09,126 --> 00:52:11,001
I know that. I don't live on the moon.

672
00:52:14,792 --> 00:52:16,750
But you're not alone here.

673
00:52:16,917 --> 00:52:20,042
Perhaps you were in South America,
but here...

674
00:52:20,209 --> 00:52:22,376
Take Maggie Shapiro.

675
00:52:22,542 --> 00:52:26,459
She stayed with us once
during the Salzburg Festival

676
00:52:26,626 --> 00:52:31,042
and for the last six weeks, she has
insisted we stay here in her apartment.

677
00:52:31,959 --> 00:52:34,459
I have no idea where she's staying herself!

678
00:52:34,626 --> 00:52:39,001
Here in New York there's a growing number
of people who want to help...

679
00:52:39,209 --> 00:52:43,501
I need to get out of the city,
I want to live in seclusion in the country.

680
00:52:54,876 --> 00:52:57,126
Your birthday, right?

681
00:52:58,001 --> 00:52:59,126
Not quite.

682
00:52:59,917 --> 00:53:01,042
No?

683
00:53:01,209 --> 00:53:04,167
That was our summer celebration
after you married me.

684
00:53:05,084 --> 00:53:10,126
Just for two people like the Ullmanns,
you need 7,000 dollars as guarantee.

685
00:53:10,292 --> 00:53:12,917
Who would grant that kind of money?

686
00:53:13,084 --> 00:53:17,584
You can ask a friend once,
just like I asked Sholem Asch for you.

687
00:53:17,751 --> 00:53:20,084
But acquaintances? Who?

688
00:53:20,876 --> 00:53:24,667
I was in South America for four months.
Who can I turn to?

689
00:53:26,209 --> 00:53:28,751
I'm counting every cent myself.

690
00:53:29,959 --> 00:53:32,334
Yes, not every cent, but every quarter.

691
00:53:32,501 --> 00:53:35,001
Things are lost, in England as well.

692
00:53:35,959 --> 00:53:39,709
90 percent of everything I owned
has been destroyed.

693
00:53:43,709 --> 00:53:49,042
It'd work with Masereel and Friedenthal.
They'd be able to look after themselves.

694
00:53:49,209 --> 00:53:53,709
But Lucka? He's in his mid-sixties
and is yet to publish a single book.

695
00:53:54,417 --> 00:53:57,584
The Ullmanns are coming
with just the shirts on their backs.

696
00:53:57,751 --> 00:54:00,001
Then the affidavit will take effect,

697
00:54:00,167 --> 00:54:02,959
and we'll have to pay for years.

698
00:54:03,917 --> 00:54:06,001
From Rieger and Victor...

699
00:54:08,334 --> 00:54:10,292
I haven't heard a thing.

700
00:54:11,876 --> 00:54:15,417
I send money to Victor,
not knowing if he's still alive.

701
00:54:19,209 --> 00:54:21,376
I can't go on like this.

702
00:54:22,542 --> 00:54:24,417
I need a break from visas and affidavits.

703
00:54:24,584 --> 00:54:26,626
Why can't you accept that?

704
00:54:26,792 --> 00:54:30,167
I have to work.
I wrote to you from Rio, pleading.

705
00:54:30,334 --> 00:54:31,959
What are you trying to tell me?

706
00:54:32,667 --> 00:54:34,459
I accept it.

707
00:54:36,126 --> 00:54:39,251
I accept all of your needs.

708
00:54:39,417 --> 00:54:42,626
I don't tell anybody which hotel you're in,

709
00:54:42,792 --> 00:54:44,792
or that you're here at all, and since when.

710
00:54:44,959 --> 00:54:47,126
I haven't even told Zuckmayer.

711
00:54:47,876 --> 00:54:52,834
I accept that even I
have to wait a week to meet you.

712
00:54:53,001 --> 00:54:55,709
After not seeing each other
for nine months.

713
00:54:55,876 --> 00:54:58,751
After crossing the Pyrenees on foot.

714
00:54:59,501 --> 00:55:02,001
Nine months, Stefan.

715
00:55:02,167 --> 00:55:06,042
The longest we've been apart
since we've known each other.

716
00:55:06,626 --> 00:55:09,126
The longest months in my life.

717
00:55:09,292 --> 00:55:12,126
So full of fear and anguish

718
00:55:12,667 --> 00:55:15,001
that I became a different person.

719
00:55:16,459 --> 00:55:21,209
You don't know how often I thought
that I'd never see my children again.

720
00:55:21,376 --> 00:55:24,167
How often we struggled separately
to pull through,

721
00:55:24,334 --> 00:55:27,334
that one of them might not make it.

722
00:55:28,209 --> 00:55:31,042
You don't know how often I asked myself

723
00:55:31,209 --> 00:55:34,209
if I'd ever see you again.
- Yes, I do know that.

724
00:55:34,417 --> 00:55:36,959
No, you don't know, Stefan.

725
00:55:37,126 --> 00:55:41,667
You don't know what it's like to be
on the quay in Marseille with 2000 people

726
00:55:41,834 --> 00:55:46,876
and to be on Eleanor Roosevelt's list,
thanks to you. Among the chosen few.

727
00:55:47,709 --> 00:55:50,209
Julien and Lucienne waved from afar.

728
00:55:51,334 --> 00:55:53,834
God only knows where they are now.

729
00:55:54,751 --> 00:55:58,334
I couldn't even say goodbye.
It was too crowded.

730
00:55:59,501 --> 00:56:00,834
Please, calm down.

731
00:56:01,001 --> 00:56:03,501
The train station in Paris was so crowded,

732
00:56:03,709 --> 00:56:06,084
you couldn't even
put your bag on the ground.

733
00:56:06,292 --> 00:56:10,084
Alix wanted to return to Rue de Grenelle.

734
00:56:10,251 --> 00:56:14,001
We were a hair's breadth from going back.

735
00:56:14,167 --> 00:56:16,334
And that very evening, the Gestapo came by.

736
00:56:17,376 --> 00:56:21,001
Not in Croissy, on Rue de Grenelle.

737
00:56:21,167 --> 00:56:24,001
We saved our skin, time and again.

738
00:56:28,126 --> 00:56:32,792
And then this elevator at the embassy opens
and there you are.

739
00:56:33,834 --> 00:56:35,251
By coincidence,

740
00:56:35,417 --> 00:56:39,542
in the middle of New York,
one of seven million people...

741
00:56:39,709 --> 00:56:41,626
You, of all people.

742
00:56:41,792 --> 00:56:42,959
And you tell me...

743
00:56:43,126 --> 00:56:45,459
I shouldn't see you for a week,

744
00:56:45,626 --> 00:56:47,584
so you can recover from South America.

745
00:56:49,417 --> 00:56:51,626
And I accept it.

746
00:56:52,709 --> 00:56:55,209
I wait until yesterday to call you.

747
00:56:56,501 --> 00:57:00,084
But these letters
from people asking for your help,

748
00:57:01,167 --> 00:57:02,959
I can't spare you those.

749
00:57:03,501 --> 00:57:07,042
They were sent to me
because nobody has your address.

750
00:57:08,709 --> 00:57:11,459
If you want to rid yourself of them,

751
00:57:13,501 --> 00:57:15,876
you'll have to do it yourself.

752
00:57:19,959 --> 00:57:20,792
Fritzi...

753
00:57:22,042 --> 00:57:23,084
That'll be Lotte.

754
00:57:24,334 --> 00:57:28,459
Oh yes, of course.
Then open it yourself.

755
00:57:42,209 --> 00:57:44,042
You have to press the buzzer.

756
00:58:08,709 --> 00:58:10,292
Schuschu!

757
00:58:11,751 --> 00:58:14,209
He made it all the way to New York.

758
00:58:16,084 --> 00:58:19,751
Alix.
- The keys are in my pocket, but...

759
00:58:20,751 --> 00:58:22,917
We'll catch our death out here.

760
00:58:24,251 --> 00:58:25,501
Come, Schuschu.

761
00:58:39,126 --> 00:58:41,709
So good to see you again,
safe and sound.

762
00:58:42,501 --> 00:58:43,542
Yes.

763
00:58:43,709 --> 00:58:44,834
Alix!

764
00:58:45,292 --> 00:58:46,751
Coming!

765
00:58:57,709 --> 00:59:01,709
I couldn't find Marillenschnaps, Mom.
I even went to the Essex Street Market.

766
00:59:01,876 --> 00:59:03,334
You're crazy.

767
00:59:09,126 --> 00:59:10,334
Want some coffee?

768
00:59:10,501 --> 00:59:12,959
It's so slippery out there, Mom.

769
00:59:17,626 --> 00:59:18,834
Come, Schuschu.

770
00:59:24,084 --> 00:59:26,417
My God, there's still more.

771
00:59:26,584 --> 00:59:30,626
Give them to me...
Alix, you're like my father.

772
00:59:30,792 --> 00:59:34,084
Someone asks for a pound of apples
and you bring a crate.

773
00:59:37,001 --> 00:59:39,084
Want to give him this?
- What is it?

774
00:59:39,251 --> 00:59:41,084
What's this? Schuschu, what's this?

775
00:59:41,417 --> 00:59:42,834
Sausage.

776
00:59:46,667 --> 00:59:48,376
And where is Madame?

777
00:59:51,417 --> 00:59:54,334
She's looking after her little niece.

778
00:59:54,501 --> 00:59:58,834
She'll be here shortly.
If the trains are still running.

779
00:59:59,001 --> 01:00:00,126
Well?

780
01:00:00,584 --> 01:00:01,876
What do I have here?

781
01:00:02,042 --> 01:00:03,834
I'm going to pick up Herbert.

782
01:00:04,626 --> 01:00:07,501
You're going to Columbia in this weather?

783
01:00:10,459 --> 01:00:12,251
You shouldn't be running after him.

784
01:00:27,751 --> 01:00:31,334
I'm picking up my husband from work.
See you around.

785
01:00:31,501 --> 01:00:32,834
Oh, yes.

786
01:00:33,917 --> 01:00:36,417
You're married ladies now.

787
01:00:37,042 --> 01:00:41,542
Yes, just before Herbert and Karl
went to military camp.

788
01:00:43,917 --> 01:00:45,917
I hope I'll get to meet him.

789
01:00:46,084 --> 01:00:46,917
Certainly.

790
01:00:47,542 --> 01:00:50,751
Without you he wouldn't even be here.
None of us would.

791
01:00:52,292 --> 01:00:53,876
Who can be sure?

792
01:00:56,126 --> 01:00:59,168
Besides, you know Herbert
from when he was this big.

793
01:00:59,417 --> 01:01:01,626
I know Alix's husband
from when he was this big?

794
01:01:01,792 --> 01:01:03,709
Yes, of course. Herbert.

795
01:01:05,126 --> 01:01:06,584
Schuschu!
- Get away!

796
01:01:08,251 --> 01:01:10,251
I wrote to you about him.

797
01:01:10,417 --> 01:01:13,084
The son of the Stoercks
who died in that avalanche.

798
01:01:13,876 --> 01:01:17,459
He lived with us for half a year,
don't you remember?

799
01:01:17,709 --> 01:01:20,417
That wild boy who kept hurting himself?
- Exactly.

800
01:01:22,334 --> 01:01:23,792
All right...

801
01:01:26,792 --> 01:01:28,709
Go in there.

802
01:01:28,876 --> 01:01:29,959
Down.

803
01:01:34,459 --> 01:01:36,667
I'll take a piece for Herbert.

804
01:01:37,834 --> 01:01:40,251
Wrap it up. There's paper in the kitchen.

805
01:01:45,084 --> 01:01:47,209
Still like when she was 15.

806
01:01:51,167 --> 01:01:53,542
You underestimate her, Stefan.

807
01:01:53,709 --> 01:01:55,917
You've always underestimated my daughters.

808
01:01:56,084 --> 01:02:00,084
You did it before we married,
and still do after our divorce.

809
01:02:03,001 --> 01:02:06,501
When it was clear that Suse and I
couldn't return from France,

810
01:02:06,667 --> 01:02:11,167
Alix cleared out the Salzburg house
in no time.

811
01:02:11,334 --> 01:02:13,667
She packed everything up
and stored it away.

812
01:02:13,834 --> 01:02:18,209
The first editions you dedicated to me,
your letters, photographs.

813
01:02:18,376 --> 01:02:22,459
Without Alix,
absolutely nothing would have been saved.

814
01:02:23,584 --> 01:02:27,334
And then she packed
my favorite things in her backpack.

815
01:02:27,501 --> 01:02:30,792
Nobody was allowed to help her carry it.
Quite the opposite.

816
01:02:30,959 --> 01:02:35,792
For the wailing Alma Werfel
she lugged a suitcase of Mahler's music.

817
01:02:38,042 --> 01:02:40,001
Are you even listening?

818
01:02:42,792 --> 01:02:44,251
Are you worried?

819
01:02:44,751 --> 01:02:46,292
Worried about what?

820
01:02:46,459 --> 01:02:47,542
Lotte.

821
01:02:48,209 --> 01:02:49,334
No.

822
01:02:54,084 --> 01:02:55,709
Then what's wrong?

823
01:02:55,876 --> 01:02:58,126
I keep thinking about Julien and Lucienne.

824
01:02:59,792 --> 01:03:03,376
The nightmare you described.
All those people...

825
01:03:05,001 --> 01:03:06,792
Why weren't they on the list?

826
01:03:07,126 --> 01:03:09,209
We don't know for certain.

827
01:03:10,376 --> 01:03:13,292
I see them in their summer house.

828
01:03:14,751 --> 01:03:17,126
Our last outing to Picpus.

829
01:03:17,751 --> 01:03:19,084
To the evil nuns.

830
01:03:19,251 --> 01:03:21,834
They weren't evil.
We disturbed them on a Sunday.

831
01:03:22,251 --> 01:03:24,667
They treated us like a pack of thieves.

832
01:03:26,876 --> 01:03:28,459
Those two...

833
01:03:30,251 --> 01:03:33,209
Then I see them
in that crush of people in Marseille,

834
01:03:33,376 --> 01:03:35,292
like two lost children.

835
01:03:36,417 --> 01:03:37,626
I'm sorry, Stefan,

836
01:03:39,167 --> 01:03:42,417
I just blurted it out...
- No, no.

837
01:03:44,584 --> 01:03:46,126
On the contrary.

838
01:03:46,876 --> 01:03:48,584
It's just...

839
01:03:50,251 --> 01:03:52,042
this magnitude...

840
01:03:55,751 --> 01:03:58,334
this horrific magnitude.

841
01:04:08,209 --> 01:04:10,209
I think of Roth often now.

842
01:04:11,751 --> 01:04:12,917
So do I.

843
01:04:14,834 --> 01:04:18,417
Scheyer is probably on the other side, too.

844
01:04:19,751 --> 01:04:21,792
Rieger, Victor...

845
01:04:23,917 --> 01:04:25,959
Maybe they're all dead.

846
01:04:33,126 --> 01:04:34,876
Sometimes I envy them.

847
01:04:40,334 --> 01:04:41,959
Can I do anything for you?

848
01:04:50,792 --> 01:04:52,876
It is so good to see you.

849
01:04:59,292 --> 01:05:01,501
Would you like some coffee?

850
01:05:01,667 --> 01:05:04,417
My liver is black enough for today.

851
01:05:05,334 --> 01:05:06,376
Cake?

852
01:05:09,626 --> 01:05:11,501
I'd love a little chamber.

853
01:05:12,084 --> 01:05:14,126
A table for writing.

854
01:05:14,667 --> 01:05:17,709
I won't come out,
and you won't let anyone in.

855
01:05:39,626 --> 01:05:41,334
Let me in, Schuschu.

856
01:05:41,501 --> 01:05:43,542
There, there.

857
01:05:44,251 --> 01:05:46,709
Hi there, mother-in-law.
- Hello, Karl.

858
01:05:46,876 --> 01:05:50,834
Look, Mom. We met at the front door.

859
01:05:52,417 --> 01:05:53,501
Hello, Mrs. Zweig.

860
01:05:58,959 --> 01:06:00,584
Hello...

861
01:06:00,751 --> 01:06:02,084
Mrs. Zweig.

862
01:06:03,417 --> 01:06:07,792
Hello, Lotte. Nice to meet you.
- Nice to meet you, too. - Come in.

863
01:06:09,084 --> 01:06:10,834
These are for you.

864
01:06:11,792 --> 01:06:14,251
Dr. Zweig, Karl Hoeller.

865
01:06:14,542 --> 01:06:18,792
It is an honor.
- Not so formal. Nice to meet you.

866
01:06:19,376 --> 01:06:21,292
In this cold weather...

867
01:06:22,001 --> 01:06:24,292
...a bit of color always helps.

868
01:06:25,917 --> 01:06:28,501
How's your little niece?

869
01:06:29,334 --> 01:06:33,001
The home is run with loving care.
- Nice to hear that.

870
01:06:33,251 --> 01:06:37,792
The Schaeffers' home is a godsend.
They're educated, upstanding people.

871
01:06:38,001 --> 01:06:40,834
Yes, they...
- Schuschu, it's your own fault.

872
01:06:41,001 --> 01:06:43,001
Off you go.

873
01:06:44,251 --> 01:06:46,501
The Schaeffers are doing their best.
- But?

874
01:06:46,667 --> 01:06:49,292
And they're Lutherans!
- That's a godsend?

875
01:06:49,834 --> 01:06:52,626
They left Germany out of protest,
not necessity.

876
01:06:52,792 --> 01:06:55,876
Coffee, everyone?
- Yes. Add some hot water.

877
01:07:03,834 --> 01:07:05,292
Eva is homesick.

878
01:07:07,126 --> 01:07:10,042
She's only 11 and hardly eats a thing.

879
01:07:10,209 --> 01:07:13,042
Or tea, perhaps?
- Make her a fennel tea.

880
01:07:13,209 --> 01:07:16,042
Tea with rum, that would be perfect now.

881
01:07:16,209 --> 01:07:17,376
Karl!

882
01:07:17,542 --> 01:07:19,667
You can't just...

883
01:07:19,834 --> 01:07:23,209
Excuse me, the place looks terrible.
- Don't be silly.

884
01:07:23,417 --> 01:07:26,334
It's how a "honeymoon suite" should look.
- Yes.

885
01:07:27,001 --> 01:07:29,084
Our honeymoon suite...

886
01:07:31,584 --> 01:07:34,709
We didn't think we would find
anything suitable in New York.

887
01:07:34,876 --> 01:07:40,084
But when we saw this place...
- To heck with the Waldorf Astoria.

888
01:07:42,834 --> 01:07:44,959
"On one of the coldest nights of the year.

889
01:07:45,126 --> 01:07:49,417
Our European air is not just turning cold,

890
01:07:49,626 --> 01:07:51,084
but also suffocating,

891
01:07:51,251 --> 01:07:55,168
and I'd like nothing better
than to up sticks tomorrow.

892
01:07:55,334 --> 01:07:58,251
But, may the miller's joy be wandering,

893
01:07:58,417 --> 01:08:00,542
what if there's no place for him to go?"

894
01:08:01,542 --> 01:08:04,876
I didn't want to interrupt.
- You didn't.

895
01:08:06,792 --> 01:08:09,209
"Pure necessity seizes us by the collar.

896
01:08:09,376 --> 01:08:13,084
And now that it's tugging
at that notorious last shirt on my back,

897
01:08:13,251 --> 01:08:15,584
I catch myself thinking

898
01:08:15,751 --> 01:08:19,542
that there might be a reason
for all that has happened to us.

899
01:08:20,042 --> 01:08:23,042
Then we could call it fate
and surrender to it,

900
01:08:23,209 --> 01:08:26,834
we could place our hands on our laps
or above our heads,

901
01:08:27,001 --> 01:08:28,376
and accept what comes,

902
01:08:28,917 --> 01:08:31,334
and the whole struggle
would come to an end.

903
01:08:31,501 --> 01:08:32,709
Even if I try..."

904
01:08:35,084 --> 01:08:36,626
I'll get it.

905
01:08:37,584 --> 01:08:41,417
"I am unable to recognize
the slightest reason for any of this

906
01:08:41,584 --> 01:08:43,084
on the political horizon.

907
01:08:43,459 --> 01:08:46,751
So I must continue the unequal battle
against our persecutors,

908
01:08:47,292 --> 01:08:49,542
against poverty, neglect

909
01:08:49,709 --> 01:08:54,001
and, most difficult of all,
against my pride and my self-esteem.

910
01:08:54,751 --> 01:08:58,667
Thus, I stand before you as a beggar,
asking for help.

911
01:08:58,834 --> 01:09:00,042
Ehrenstein."

912
01:09:02,334 --> 01:09:04,667
You're right, Fritzi.

913
01:09:05,209 --> 01:09:07,167
What is my work,

914
01:09:07,334 --> 01:09:11,667
what is anything compared to this reality?

915
01:09:23,751 --> 01:09:25,501
Who is Ehrenstein?

916
01:09:29,959 --> 01:09:31,542
An old friend.

917
01:10:33,167 --> 01:10:35,084
Give that to me.

918
01:10:37,917 --> 01:10:40,042
I didn't congratulate you on your marriage.

919
01:10:40,209 --> 01:10:43,251
Doesn't matter.
I didn't congratulate you either.

920
01:10:44,167 --> 01:10:46,584
No, I... I wouldn't expect that.

921
01:10:55,209 --> 01:10:56,792
I'm happy for you.

922
01:10:56,959 --> 01:10:58,417
And for Stefan.

923
01:11:00,209 --> 01:11:01,292
Really.

924
01:11:01,459 --> 01:11:05,501
Everything all right?
- Everything's all right, thank you.

925
01:11:13,167 --> 01:11:15,459
That's the man who helped us.

926
01:11:35,792 --> 01:11:37,626
Won't you take a seat?

927
01:11:49,209 --> 01:11:52,792
Ben could write an invitation to Julien.

928
01:11:52,959 --> 01:11:56,542
Then they'd get on the list.
- Tell him then.

929
01:11:56,876 --> 01:11:58,417
Glass of water?

930
01:12:02,834 --> 01:12:04,751
Go get a damp towel.

931
01:12:05,334 --> 01:12:07,417
Thanks, but it won't help.

932
01:12:09,334 --> 01:12:11,709
This radiator air is poison for asthma.

933
01:12:11,876 --> 01:12:13,667
New York is poison, like London.

934
01:12:14,334 --> 01:12:17,709
And also coming from the tropics
to minus 20 degrees.

935
01:12:20,251 --> 01:12:21,626
I have...

936
01:12:22,751 --> 01:12:26,751
a mission here...
what I must give...

937
01:12:28,584 --> 01:12:30,917
bread... and salt.

938
01:12:38,834 --> 01:12:41,876
"For well-being,

939
01:12:42,376 --> 01:12:44,042
for settle...

940
01:12:44,292 --> 01:12:45,167
settle...

941
01:12:45,334 --> 01:12:46,542
ness?

942
01:12:47,292 --> 01:12:50,459
Settledness.
- Settledness!

943
01:12:50,959 --> 01:12:55,042
For commune... communality."

944
01:13:11,251 --> 01:13:14,584
Anybody mind if I put it on?
- Of course not.

945
01:13:50,501 --> 01:13:53,209
That's why people like to come to you.

946
01:14:19,376 --> 01:14:20,709
Interesting.

947
01:14:23,001 --> 01:14:23,917
Sorry?

948
01:14:26,376 --> 01:14:28,126
You have to help me

949
01:14:28,292 --> 01:14:32,626
dig up my lost memories
for my self-portrayal.

950
01:14:33,042 --> 01:14:34,751
You're writing an autobiography?

951
01:14:48,501 --> 01:14:51,001
I just had it repaired.

952
01:14:52,126 --> 01:14:54,293
I think it will be a decent book.

953
01:15:09,042 --> 01:15:12,084
The German and French versions
could be printed in Brazil.

954
01:15:12,334 --> 01:15:15,667
And the English version?
Is Cassel doing it?

955
01:15:16,584 --> 01:15:18,292
The bookbinder's was bombed.

956
01:15:18,501 --> 01:15:20,667
What? And your house in Bath?

957
01:15:21,001 --> 01:15:23,001
The Balzac's still there,
2,000 pages of notes.

958
01:15:23,209 --> 01:15:25,334
But Stefan...
- You don't get the problem.

959
01:15:25,584 --> 01:15:28,584
How can I get 40 books
and all my notes past the censors?

960
01:15:28,834 --> 01:15:30,667
Try!
- There's always a way.

961
01:15:30,917 --> 01:15:33,501
Hanna could send it, Eva's mother.
- Exactly.

962
01:15:33,959 --> 01:15:41,126
Petropolis, Brazil
November 1941

963
01:16:02,876 --> 01:16:04,292
Mr. Zweig?

964
01:16:05,209 --> 01:16:06,709
Dr. Zweig!

965
01:16:08,501 --> 01:16:09,917
Dr. Zweig!

966
01:16:10,834 --> 01:16:12,876
I thought it was you.

967
01:16:15,084 --> 01:16:16,584
Excuse me...

968
01:16:19,417 --> 01:16:21,292
Please help me.

969
01:16:21,459 --> 01:16:22,876
Is everything all right?

970
01:16:23,292 --> 01:16:25,292
Wait, I'll come down to you.

971
01:16:46,917 --> 01:16:48,042
Mr. Feder!

972
01:16:49,334 --> 01:16:51,001
What are you doing here?

973
01:16:51,167 --> 01:16:55,251
I wanted to catch the bus to Rio.
Erna and I are moving here in three days.

974
01:16:56,251 --> 01:16:57,751
Really?
- Yes.

975
01:16:58,334 --> 01:17:01,042
Forgot my glasses, fool that I am.
I have to go back.

976
01:17:01,209 --> 01:17:02,917
We'll be neighbors. Wonderful!

977
01:17:03,709 --> 01:17:06,167
How nice to see you. How are you?

978
01:17:06,959 --> 01:17:08,876
Nice to see you too.

979
01:17:09,042 --> 01:17:12,251
So you live here in this neighborhood?

980
01:17:12,751 --> 01:17:15,917
Not exactly. A bit further on.
I was just...

981
01:17:16,584 --> 01:17:19,876
Remember what Simon said
when you moved to Paris?

982
01:17:20,042 --> 01:17:23,417
"The entire Kurfürstendamm
is pouring over Paris."

983
01:17:23,584 --> 01:17:26,917
Now they're all
pouring over Petropolis.

984
01:17:27,084 --> 01:17:28,751
You're a start at least.

985
01:17:28,917 --> 01:17:30,626
Are you going up too?

986
01:17:30,792 --> 01:17:32,834
Why not?

987
01:17:33,751 --> 01:17:37,292
I don't know
when the next bus leaves for Rio.

988
01:17:37,459 --> 01:17:39,709
I have to meet de Souza at three.

989
01:17:40,251 --> 01:17:43,876
The next no. 4 bus leaves at 10:30.
So you have time.

990
01:17:44,042 --> 01:17:47,876
Where was your apartment in Berlin
by the way?

991
01:17:48,042 --> 01:17:51,667
Leipziger Straße 3,
between Wilhelmstraße and Potsdamer Platz.

992
01:17:51,834 --> 01:17:53,334
Yes, of course.

993
01:17:53,792 --> 01:17:56,542
I vaguely remember.
- And now...

994
01:17:56,709 --> 01:18:00,834
we are moving here,
at the end of that lane.

995
01:18:02,959 --> 01:18:05,709
It wasn't easy
to find something affordable.

996
01:18:05,876 --> 01:18:09,417
The rent for emigrants is going up,
even in Petropolis.

997
01:18:09,584 --> 01:18:13,501
Why didn't you say? We could have helped.
- I beg you.

998
01:18:15,251 --> 01:18:18,626
Sorry, but I have to...
- I'll accompany you.

999
01:18:18,792 --> 01:18:19,751
Really?
- Sure.

1000
01:18:20,334 --> 01:18:24,751
We're moving into a two-room
with the Levys' from Osnabrück.

1001
01:18:24,917 --> 01:18:27,292
She's originally from Karlsruhe.

1002
01:18:27,459 --> 01:18:31,292
Makes fabulous coffee,
but she talks incessantly.

1003
01:18:31,459 --> 01:18:33,334
Always squabbling with her husband.

1004
01:18:33,584 --> 01:18:35,792
After five minutes, I knew all her worries:

1005
01:18:35,959 --> 01:18:39,001
her daughter,
a grown-up art historian no less,

1006
01:18:39,167 --> 01:18:42,001
has married a musician twice her age,

1007
01:18:42,167 --> 01:18:44,667
and her mother doesn't like it one bit.

1008
01:18:44,834 --> 01:18:45,959
Oh dear, there she is.

1009
01:18:47,917 --> 01:18:50,709
Mr. Feder! You're still here?

1010
01:18:51,542 --> 01:18:54,542
May I introduce you?
Dr. Zweig, Mr. and Mrs. Levy.

1011
01:18:54,709 --> 01:18:56,584
Oh God. Yes, of course.

1012
01:18:56,751 --> 01:18:59,543
It is truly an honor.
- The pleasure is all mine.

1013
01:18:59,709 --> 01:19:00,959
It's Stefan Zweig!

1014
01:19:01,126 --> 01:19:03,251
I heard you make
the best coffee in Petropolis.

1015
01:19:03,792 --> 01:19:07,917
I have to go back...
- To our place? With pleasure.

1016
01:19:08,084 --> 01:19:09,917
I'll make you some coffee.

1017
01:19:10,084 --> 01:19:13,959
We wanted to go shopping,
but my husband only brought one bag.

1018
01:19:14,126 --> 01:19:17,542
Heaven knows how we'd fit
a week's groceries into one bag.

1019
01:19:17,709 --> 01:19:19,959
I'm afraid I'm expected at home...

1020
01:19:20,126 --> 01:19:22,834
It's no problem at all.
- He has no time.

1021
01:19:23,001 --> 01:19:26,001
I'm sure there will be another time.
- Yes...

1022
01:19:26,167 --> 01:19:27,417
Goodbye.

1023
01:19:28,459 --> 01:19:30,417
Hello.
- Hello.

1024
01:19:31,667 --> 01:19:33,709
Yes, well...

1025
01:19:34,751 --> 01:19:38,751
on December 1st we'll be moving...

1026
01:19:40,584 --> 01:19:42,959
Oh, isn't today...

1027
01:19:43,792 --> 01:19:45,209
Today is...

1028
01:19:46,792 --> 01:19:50,334
I don't believe it.
Stands here and doesn't say a word.

1029
01:19:51,834 --> 01:19:54,917
Happy birthday.
- Thanks. That's very kind of you.

1030
01:19:55,376 --> 01:19:58,126
I know, because
it's Erna's birthday in two days.

1031
01:19:58,292 --> 01:20:03,334
I'm dragging you around. You must...
- No, no. I've banned all celebrations.

1032
01:20:03,501 --> 01:20:06,251
One can't be celebrated
in times like these. Come on.

1033
01:20:06,792 --> 01:20:08,084
Tolstoy said:

1034
01:20:08,251 --> 01:20:11,459
"Every 60-year-old man should hide
in the thicket like aging animals."

1035
01:20:11,626 --> 01:20:13,584
Tolstoy, of all people?

1036
01:20:13,751 --> 01:20:16,126
He lived to be ancient. Over 80.

1037
01:20:16,292 --> 01:20:18,542
Perhaps he liked the thicket.

1038
01:20:26,792 --> 01:20:28,917
And your wife is at home?

1039
01:20:29,084 --> 01:20:31,334
Yes, Lotte's at home.

1040
01:20:32,459 --> 01:20:33,792
Voilà.

1041
01:20:34,167 --> 01:20:36,917
It isn't Leipziger Straße, but...

1042
01:20:37,084 --> 01:20:39,209
You'll see. It's a good life here.

1043
01:20:39,376 --> 01:20:41,667
To tell the truth, I hope so.

1044
01:20:42,667 --> 01:20:43,751
But...

1045
01:20:44,376 --> 01:20:46,584
If you say so, I want to believe it.

1046
01:20:46,751 --> 01:20:50,126
On every walk here
you see the loveliest things.

1047
01:20:50,876 --> 01:20:53,709
You can live a cheap and modest life.

1048
01:20:54,292 --> 01:20:57,876
Please, get yourself something to drink.
- Thank you.

1049
01:21:00,709 --> 01:21:02,876
And, above all, you live in peace.

1050
01:21:03,042 --> 01:21:05,001
Ah, there it is.

1051
01:21:05,167 --> 01:21:07,084
Have you read the paper yet?

1052
01:21:07,251 --> 01:21:10,251
You mean the British aircraft carrier?

1053
01:21:15,542 --> 01:21:17,126
Take them for the bus.

1054
01:21:17,292 --> 01:21:19,334
You get the New York Times here?
- Twice a week.

1055
01:21:19,501 --> 01:21:21,459
Not bad. Thanks a lot.

1056
01:21:23,626 --> 01:21:27,126
This is the Levys' dining room.

1057
01:21:27,292 --> 01:21:29,917
We can use it as our study, too.

1058
01:21:30,084 --> 01:21:32,459
Work is most important.

1059
01:21:32,626 --> 01:21:36,417
I've rarely been so pleasantly detached
as these last three months.

1060
01:21:36,917 --> 01:21:40,542
Nothing but working, walking, reading.

1061
01:21:40,709 --> 01:21:43,292
Now take a look at this view.

1062
01:21:57,209 --> 01:21:59,084
Isn't it incredible?

1063
01:22:01,167 --> 01:22:03,417
What does it remind you of?

1064
01:22:05,084 --> 01:22:08,001
Of Tolstoy's thicket?
- Semmering.

1065
01:22:08,792 --> 01:22:10,542
A tropical Semmering.

1066
01:22:11,876 --> 01:22:13,751
Now you mention it...

1067
01:22:15,876 --> 01:22:18,459
At the other end of the world.

1068
01:22:18,626 --> 01:22:20,417
Look at that nature.

1069
01:22:21,667 --> 01:22:24,626
I am always so overwhelmed by its beauty.

1070
01:22:35,626 --> 01:22:39,209
Behind our hill is de Souza's summer house.
I'll show you later.

1071
01:22:39,376 --> 01:22:41,542
There's even a little library.

1072
01:22:41,709 --> 01:22:43,751
A little meager, but...

1073
01:22:43,917 --> 01:22:45,959
It isn't as hot as in Rio.

1074
01:22:46,667 --> 01:22:49,417
You can survive the summers quite well.

1075
01:22:50,501 --> 01:22:52,459
There's a parrot.

1076
01:22:53,501 --> 01:22:54,709
Look.

1077
01:22:56,001 --> 01:22:58,042
Val Paraiso...

1078
01:22:59,251 --> 01:23:00,667
Yes.

1079
01:23:03,751 --> 01:23:06,001
We have no reason to complain.

1080
01:23:08,292 --> 01:23:09,751
No.

1081
01:23:12,876 --> 01:23:14,584
Not us.

1082
01:23:16,876 --> 01:23:19,001
How can one bear this?

1083
01:23:34,501 --> 01:23:37,126
And I can't join in when someone says,

1084
01:23:37,292 --> 01:23:39,292
"Berlin took a jolly good beating."

1085
01:23:41,917 --> 01:23:44,959
I can't stand the way people talk about it.

1086
01:23:45,834 --> 01:23:49,751
Or write about it.
Those big-mouth optimists...

1087
01:23:49,917 --> 01:23:51,584
The war at sea is lost.

1088
01:23:51,751 --> 01:23:56,251
We're at the start of the war,
middle at best, but nobody says it aloud.

1089
01:23:58,084 --> 01:24:00,209
And the worst part of it is:

1090
01:24:01,667 --> 01:24:04,834
There's no opposition to the war as such,

1091
01:24:05,709 --> 01:24:07,459
not in one single country.

1092
01:24:11,917 --> 01:24:14,042
You have to catch your bus.

1093
01:24:16,209 --> 01:24:20,667
Please, excuse me.
I have my black liver again.

1094
01:24:28,292 --> 01:24:33,542
I didn't have a chance in Rio
to congratulate you on your Brazil book.

1095
01:24:33,709 --> 01:24:36,501
Did you like it?
- I thought it was fabulous.

1096
01:24:36,667 --> 01:24:39,251
Everyone I talked to thinks the same.

1097
01:24:39,417 --> 01:24:40,917
I'm pleased.

1098
01:24:41,084 --> 01:24:44,334
You should also be congratulated
on your success.

1099
01:24:44,501 --> 01:24:46,376
Yes? Oh well...

1100
01:24:46,542 --> 01:24:49,126
"Oh well?" I read the sales figures.

1101
01:24:49,292 --> 01:24:51,334
Then you've also read the reviews here.

1102
01:24:51,501 --> 01:24:54,751
I didn't get that at all.
What's Costa Rego's problem?

1103
01:24:55,709 --> 01:24:58,626
Look, that's de Souza's house up there.

1104
01:24:58,792 --> 01:25:01,084
And next door to him is Gabriela Mistral,

1105
01:25:01,251 --> 01:25:03,917
the famous Chilean poet and diplomat.

1106
01:25:04,084 --> 01:25:05,709
A very intelligent woman.

1107
01:25:05,876 --> 01:25:08,292
I'll introduce you to her.
- Gladly.

1108
01:25:09,417 --> 01:25:12,209
But really,
you declared your love for this country.

1109
01:25:12,376 --> 01:25:17,459
It's published the world over, and Brazil,
of all places, attacks it like that.

1110
01:25:18,001 --> 01:25:19,876
You know what?

1111
01:25:20,501 --> 01:25:23,751
Perhaps I was too uncritical
about certain things.

1112
01:25:23,917 --> 01:25:28,167
But how can they accuse you
of being commissioned by the government?

1113
01:25:28,334 --> 01:25:30,209
De Souza was also outraged.

1114
01:25:30,376 --> 01:25:34,043
I don't care about the Nationalists,
but that the Leftists also...

1115
01:25:34,209 --> 01:25:37,001
If you ask me, they're all just envious.

1116
01:25:37,167 --> 01:25:39,126
We tend to grow a thick skin.

1117
01:25:39,292 --> 01:25:42,209
Anyway I'm happy
I don't live in Rio anymore.

1118
01:25:43,501 --> 01:25:46,209
Have you seen the donkeys carrying baskets?
- Yes.

1119
01:25:46,376 --> 01:25:48,042
I love them.

1120
01:25:49,417 --> 01:25:53,500
Your article in the Jornal do Brasil
about Einstein was fantastic.

1121
01:25:53,667 --> 01:25:55,625
I read it aloud to Lotte.

1122
01:25:56,376 --> 01:25:58,126
May I perhaps ask you a favor?

1123
01:25:58,459 --> 01:26:00,751
Whatever you want. It's your birthday.

1124
01:26:00,917 --> 01:26:03,751
You play chess, don't you?
- Tolerably.

1125
01:26:03,917 --> 01:26:07,917
I've started a new story -
my favorite unpopular format.

1126
01:26:08,084 --> 01:26:11,292
Too long for a newspaper,
too short for a book.

1127
01:26:11,792 --> 01:26:14,376
Probably too abstract for most people.

1128
01:26:14,542 --> 01:26:17,292
Here, I'll show you a Catholic shortcut.

1129
01:26:19,376 --> 01:26:23,334
And the topic is remote:
a little chess story.

1130
01:26:27,667 --> 01:26:31,626
You wouldn't enjoy playing against me.
I'm a miserable player.

1131
01:26:31,792 --> 01:26:33,251
But I make an effort.

1132
01:26:33,417 --> 01:26:37,167
I bought Tartakower's
"The Hypermodern Chess Game".

1133
01:26:37,376 --> 01:26:41,917
Lotte laughs at me when I make her play
the same moves as Alexander Alekhine.

1134
01:26:42,709 --> 01:26:45,167
But would you play me?
- I'd love to.

1135
01:26:45,334 --> 01:26:46,459
Thank you.

1136
01:26:46,626 --> 01:26:51,334
But now it's time for me to head on home.
Otherwise I'll ruin my big day for Lotte.

1137
01:26:51,501 --> 01:26:54,001
You've gone out of your way
to accompany me.

1138
01:26:54,167 --> 01:26:56,209
The bus stop is right over there.

1139
01:26:56,376 --> 01:26:59,751
And I have to go up that way.
Rua Gonçalves Dias 34.

1140
01:26:59,917 --> 01:27:03,084
Make a note of it.
- I have. Have a nice birthday.

1141
01:27:03,251 --> 01:27:05,501
See you very soon.
- See you soon.

1142
01:27:29,334 --> 01:27:31,292
You're back, Senhor Zweig.

1143
01:27:35,167 --> 01:27:37,959
I was hoping
that we'd have the same birthday.

1144
01:27:38,126 --> 01:27:40,667
The day isn't over yet.

1145
01:27:40,834 --> 01:27:43,042
I don't want to pressure you.

1146
01:28:28,959 --> 01:28:31,501
Thank you, my dear friends.
- Happy birthday!

1147
01:28:31,751 --> 01:28:35,667
I wish you the very best:
health, happiness, satisfaction,

1148
01:28:35,834 --> 01:28:38,751
and, this is admittedly
a somewhat selfish wish,

1149
01:28:38,959 --> 01:28:41,334
many more successful publications.

1150
01:28:41,501 --> 01:28:43,417
Where have you been?

1151
01:28:43,584 --> 01:28:44,334
Sorry.

1152
01:28:44,501 --> 01:28:47,459
I ran into Ernst Feder. He is moving here.
- Really?

1153
01:28:47,626 --> 01:28:49,792
Thank you for the nice words.

1154
01:28:49,959 --> 01:28:51,959
May I offer you a sip?

1155
01:28:52,792 --> 01:28:56,584
Feder was editor
at the Berliner Tageblatt, and later...

1156
01:28:56,834 --> 01:28:57,876
Thank you.

1157
01:28:58,042 --> 01:28:58,751
What's wrong?

1158
01:29:00,042 --> 01:29:02,667
My dear,
we have been thinking for a long time

1159
01:29:02,917 --> 01:29:04,417
about a present for you.

1160
01:29:04,584 --> 01:29:07,042
Something that could really make you happy.

1161
01:29:07,459 --> 01:29:09,542
We conferred with your wife

1162
01:29:09,709 --> 01:29:12,959
and after extensive consultations,
we thought of something.

1163
01:29:13,126 --> 01:29:15,209
We hope we got the right thing.

1164
01:29:15,584 --> 01:29:17,751
I'd now like you to close your eyes.

1165
01:29:18,417 --> 01:29:21,667
What?
- Yes. Close your eyes.

1166
01:29:22,126 --> 01:29:24,043
Come on, close your eyes.

1167
01:29:34,126 --> 01:29:35,834
No peaking.

1168
01:29:36,834 --> 01:29:38,042
You don't miss a thing.

1169
01:29:50,251 --> 01:29:52,167
You can open your eyes now.

1170
01:29:56,792 --> 01:29:58,209
Kids!

1171
01:29:59,084 --> 01:29:59,959
You are...

1172
01:30:05,584 --> 01:30:07,126
For me?

1173
01:30:08,542 --> 01:30:10,542
Who are you then?

1174
01:30:11,209 --> 01:30:12,917
Who are you then?

1175
01:30:14,334 --> 01:30:15,751
His name is Plucky.

1176
01:30:16,459 --> 01:30:18,417
Plucky! Hello, Plucky.

1177
01:30:19,292 --> 01:30:21,167
Do you understand me?

1178
01:30:21,876 --> 01:30:24,292
Do you understand German?
He understands me.

1179
01:30:24,459 --> 01:30:27,126
He is a wirehaired fox terrier.

1180
01:30:27,292 --> 01:30:29,959
From the Baron of Rio Branco's
dog-breeding family.

1181
01:30:30,167 --> 01:30:33,001
You are a baron.
With the best pedigree.

1182
01:30:34,376 --> 01:30:35,876
Are you a baron?

1183
01:30:36,834 --> 01:30:38,042
Are you a baron?

1184
01:30:46,251 --> 01:30:47,834
A baron?

1185
01:30:48,001 --> 01:30:51,834
A noble baron? A very noble baron?

1186
01:31:07,334 --> 01:31:09,626
Let's take him on our outing!
- Of course.

1187
01:31:09,792 --> 01:31:10,709
Let's go.

1188
01:31:10,959 --> 01:31:13,542
Just a moment.
One more picture with Lotte.

1189
01:31:20,084 --> 01:31:22,001
Paulina, you too.

1190
01:31:24,501 --> 01:31:26,042
Now don't move.

1191
01:31:26,959 --> 01:31:27,959
Very good.

1192
01:31:28,167 --> 01:31:29,959
Paulina, will you take one of us?

1193
01:31:30,209 --> 01:31:33,709
We won't be going to Nuova Friburgo
because of the rain.

1194
01:31:33,876 --> 01:31:35,042
Look this way.

1195
01:31:35,959 --> 01:31:37,209
Great.
- Thank you.

1196
01:31:37,376 --> 01:31:40,917
But we can drive to Teresépolis.
- Yes.

1197
01:31:41,084 --> 01:31:43,626
You are familiar with Teresépolis?

1198
01:31:43,792 --> 01:31:45,417
Yes, it's beautiful.

1199
01:31:45,626 --> 01:31:49,417
This is part of the present.
- Thank you.

1200
01:31:49,584 --> 01:31:50,751
Shall we go?

1201
01:31:52,209 --> 01:31:53,917
Let's go.

1202
01:31:56,917 --> 01:31:59,959
My mother made liver pate for us.
She sends her greetings.

1203
01:32:00,126 --> 01:32:01,709
God bless your mother!

1204
01:32:02,334 --> 01:32:06,334
I had to come to Brazil
to learn to appreciate Jewish cuisine.

1205
01:32:06,501 --> 01:32:08,626
Let's take a photograph.
- No.

1206
01:32:09,084 --> 01:32:11,251
Come on, I know how much you love donkeys.

1207
01:32:11,417 --> 01:32:14,251
Hello, may I take a photograph?

1208
01:32:16,876 --> 01:32:18,709
Are you the famous writer?

1209
01:32:18,876 --> 01:32:21,876
Well, I...
- Yes. He's famous all over the world.

1210
01:32:26,251 --> 01:32:28,376
Thank you.
- Thank you.

1211
01:32:29,751 --> 01:32:31,709
Two old asses in one photo.

1212
01:32:31,876 --> 01:32:34,126
After you.
- Plucky, come.

1213
01:32:39,626 --> 01:32:41,001
Watch out.

1214
01:32:42,001 --> 01:32:44,376
Ready to go?
- Let's go.

1215
01:33:10,959 --> 01:33:13,001
You've really made me very happy.

1216
01:33:13,876 --> 01:33:15,917
We're so happy to hear that.

1217
01:33:18,667 --> 01:33:20,584
And you too, of course.

1218
01:33:38,667 --> 01:33:46,042
Epilogue
Petropolis, Brazil - February 1942

1219
01:33:47,001 --> 01:33:49,084
No, that is the subjunctive.

1220
01:33:49,251 --> 01:33:52,834
It should be "would need to have",
not "needs".

1221
01:33:53,584 --> 01:33:56,959
"Would need to have."
- It's the subjunctive.

1222
01:33:57,459 --> 01:34:01,042
"One would need to have unique strength..."

1223
01:34:01,209 --> 01:34:04,584
And this is plural:
"strengths", not "strength".

1224
01:34:04,751 --> 01:34:08,126
"One would need to have unique strengths."

1225
01:34:11,459 --> 01:34:15,167
And is it really "birthday"?
Let me see that again.

1226
01:34:15,334 --> 01:34:18,459
"But after the sixtieth year..."

1227
01:34:19,751 --> 01:34:22,251
It's "age", not "birthday".

1228
01:34:22,917 --> 01:34:25,542
It should be: "But at the age of sixty..."

1229
01:34:26,459 --> 01:34:28,501
"But at the age of sixty..."

1230
01:34:28,667 --> 01:34:29,959
Monteiro!

1231
01:34:30,959 --> 01:34:32,292
Yes, Senhor Comissário?

1232
01:34:32,459 --> 01:34:35,001
Return to your patio post, please.
- Yes.

1233
01:34:35,167 --> 01:34:37,251
We are expecting a large crowd.

1234
01:34:37,417 --> 01:34:39,667
What's keeping Koogan?

1235
01:34:40,251 --> 01:34:42,917
It would be much easier for him
with his German.

1236
01:34:43,084 --> 01:34:47,334
Senhor de Souza...
- I beg you! Please, be patient.

1237
01:34:47,501 --> 01:34:51,167
It takes at least two hours from Rio,
even if he takes the corniche.

1238
01:34:51,334 --> 01:34:55,542
Inspector? We have to examine
the room for further substances.

1239
01:34:55,709 --> 01:34:57,209
At your service.

1240
01:34:57,376 --> 01:35:01,376
"Head up high..."
"Head up high", that sounds too...

1241
01:35:02,167 --> 01:35:04,209
"Upright", perhaps?

1242
01:35:05,667 --> 01:35:08,126
God, time is running out.

1243
01:35:08,792 --> 01:35:11,042
Under the mattress, negative.

1244
01:35:12,292 --> 01:35:14,667
Drawer of bedside table...

1245
01:35:15,876 --> 01:35:18,001
Papers... negative.

1246
01:35:18,959 --> 01:35:20,792
Senhora, you can't go in there.

1247
01:35:20,959 --> 01:35:24,209
Photographs, torn up, papers...

1248
01:35:24,792 --> 01:35:29,334
Papers... typed, handwritten... negative.

1249
01:35:29,501 --> 01:35:30,959
The wardrobe?

1250
01:35:32,084 --> 01:35:33,251
May I trouble you?

1251
01:35:33,834 --> 01:35:35,376
I can't believe it.

1252
01:35:35,542 --> 01:35:37,209
So unexpected.

1253
01:35:37,376 --> 01:35:38,376
Thank you.

1254
01:35:42,042 --> 01:35:44,209
May I see them?

1255
01:35:44,376 --> 01:35:49,292
Inspector, would it be possible to allow
consul Mistral a moment of privacy?

1256
01:35:49,459 --> 01:35:51,126
Of course.
- There's nothing.

1257
01:35:51,292 --> 01:35:53,042
Doctor?
- Thank you.

1258
01:35:53,209 --> 01:35:55,376
We just finished anyway.

1259
01:36:22,709 --> 01:36:24,084
Plucky!

1260
01:36:32,542 --> 01:36:34,167
I'm sorry, Senhora,

1261
01:36:35,042 --> 01:36:36,667
forgive me.

1262
01:36:42,542 --> 01:36:45,001
You took good care of them.

1263
01:36:45,751 --> 01:36:47,251
My condolences.

1264
01:36:50,917 --> 01:36:54,167
They don't know what happened yet.
They assume it was poison.

1265
01:36:55,042 --> 01:37:00,751
The bodies were found
by the gardener and the housekeeper.

1266
01:37:03,292 --> 01:37:05,167
Thank you for coming.

1267
01:37:05,334 --> 01:37:08,292
We don't know much.
You know each other.

1268
01:37:09,209 --> 01:37:11,792
May I introduce Gabriela Mistral?

1269
01:37:11,959 --> 01:37:14,334
It seems they've taken poison.

1270
01:37:14,501 --> 01:37:16,709
They were found in the afternoon

1271
01:37:16,876 --> 01:37:19,251
by the gardener and the housekeeper.

1272
01:37:19,417 --> 01:37:21,709
I came here as soon as I could.

1273
01:37:22,667 --> 01:37:25,125
We have no medical details as yet.

1274
01:37:25,292 --> 01:37:27,542
Stern, please answer the phone.

1275
01:37:28,792 --> 01:37:31,834
Police and doctors arrived immediately.

1276
01:37:32,001 --> 01:37:35,376
We have to wait for the results.

1277
01:37:36,959 --> 01:37:39,917
They only know that it was from poison.

1278
01:37:46,251 --> 01:37:50,292
Nothing points to a criminal act.
That can be ruled out.

1279
01:38:17,917 --> 01:38:19,167
Ernst?

1280
01:38:23,292 --> 01:38:27,084
Zweig left a letter, but it's in German.

1281
01:38:27,584 --> 01:38:31,334
Senhora Mistral asked for it
to be read to everyone present.

1282
01:38:31,501 --> 01:38:33,626
Of course.
- Thank you.

1283
01:38:33,792 --> 01:38:35,542
Yes, of course.

1284
01:38:47,917 --> 01:38:52,459
"Petropolis, <i>22</i> February, 1942.

1285
01:38:55,626 --> 01:39:00,084
Before leaving life on my own accord
and with a clear mind,

1286
01:39:00,251 --> 01:39:03,209
I feel the need to complete a final task:

1287
01:39:03,917 --> 01:39:07,834
to send my profound thanks to Brazil,
this wonderful country

1288
01:39:08,001 --> 01:39:12,792
that gave me and my work
such a hospitable rest.

1289
01:39:12,959 --> 01:39:16,334
Day after day, I learned to love it more.

1290
01:39:16,501 --> 01:39:20,709
Nowhere else would I have preferred
to build a new life

1291
01:39:20,876 --> 01:39:24,959
now that the world of my own language
has disappeared for me,

1292
01:39:25,126 --> 01:39:29,918
and that my spiritual land, Europe,
is destroying itself.

1293
01:39:33,542 --> 01:39:37,084
But, at the age of sixty,
one would need to have unique strengths

1294
01:39:37,251 --> 01:39:39,584
to start again from scratch.

1295
01:39:39,751 --> 01:39:44,501
And mine have been exhausted
by the many years of wandering.

1296
01:39:46,376 --> 01:39:50,293
So I think it is better to bring my life
to a close at the right time,

1297
01:39:50,459 --> 01:39:53,334
with my head held high,

1298
01:39:53,501 --> 01:39:57,959
a life in which intellectual work
has always been the purest joy

1299
01:39:58,126 --> 01:40:02,917
and personal freedom,
the greatest commodity in this world.

1300
01:40:04,667 --> 01:40:07,417
I give my regards to all my friends.

1301
01:40:07,584 --> 01:40:10,834
May they live to see the dawn
after the long night.

1302
01:40:11,001 --> 01:40:16,084
I am too impatient, I go before them.
Stefan Zweig."

1303
01:40:23,251 --> 01:40:24,834
Thank you.

1304
01:40:28,459 --> 01:40:30,584
I'll wait outside.

1305
01:40:34,001 --> 01:40:35,001
Thank you.

1306
01:40:35,709 --> 01:40:37,126
Claudio...

1307
01:41:10,167 --> 01:41:11,209
Hello?

1308
01:41:12,626 --> 01:41:13,626
Yes.

1309
01:41:14,001 --> 01:41:17,834
Yes, something did happen
but I cannot confirm anything.

1310
01:41:18,001 --> 01:41:21,251
No, we have no details yet.

1311
01:41:21,417 --> 01:41:25,126
No, please,
I can't give you any information.

1312
01:41:25,709 --> 01:41:29,667
As I say, I can't give you any information.
