What to expect
Oliver Haffner sets his drama on a single day — November 9, 1978, the 40th anniversary of Kristallnacht — as game-show host Hans Rosenthal prepares for a live broadcast. Florian Lukas plays a man who made millions of Germans laugh while carrying private grief the country preferred not to discuss. The script stays close to Rosenthal’s dilemma: entertain a public that has barely reckoned with the pogrom that shattered his own childhood. The movie screens as part of the Hong Kong Jewish Film Festival 2026 from November 11. 92 min, German with English subtitles.
