Set in 1978, Hans Rosenthal, is a German TV superstar whose on-air charm hides the trauma of surviving the Holocaust and his audience doesn’t even know he is Jewish. His family was destroyed during the Nazi pogrom of 1938, and he spent his youth in hiding. . At the height of his fame, he learns that a milestone live episode of his TV game show coincides with November 9 — the 40th anniversary of Kristallnacht. Pressured by network executives to focus on the broadcast rather than attend the country’s first official memorial, Rosenthal must decide whether to entertain an audience of millions or confront his past and the nation’s complicity.

As the countdown to air begins, the film explores celebrity, conscience, and the weight of history, forcing Rosenthal to confront buried memories, self-doubt, and the tension between public image and personal truth.
