Craving to make a name for himself in early-1930s Germany, the passionate stage actor, Hendrik Höfgen, has dedicated himself–body and soul–entirely to his art. But, pretty soon, as the Nazi Party rises to power, the ambitious artist will find himself before a pressing dilemma: renounce his apolitical stance and comply with the Third Reich‘s doctrine, or face oblivion. However, Faustian bargains never end well. What is the price to pay for one’s soul?
—Nick Riganas
