Synopsis

Many intellectuals and artists fled into exile to the American Pacific coast during the Nazi rule. Michael Lentz finds this life with the means of memory and fiction, in which every look adheres to the past, but the present of exile is in the sign of uncertainty: Franz Werfel crosses the Pyrenees; Brecht says goodbye to a deceased employee in the poem; Feuchtwanger argues in spirit with Thomas Mann over pelicans and covers strange signs in his library; Thomas Mann swarms a reporter who has sneaked into his house; Schönberg mourns a lent chair he has long since gotten back; Heinrich Mann remains alone after the death of his wife Nelly.
