Vienna, 1930s. Victor Kaufmann, the son of a wealthy cosmopolitan Jewish couple who own an art gallery, shares with his best friend Rudi a well-kept family secret: a drawing by Michelangelo that was believed lost. In turn, Rudi reveals that he is a member of the Nazi party and is hoping that Austria's annexation to Germany will improve his career chances with the Nazis. As it gets increasingly unsafe for the Jews in Austria, the Kaufmanns transfer their estate to Victor's girlfriend to protect it from being confiscated, while Rudi, a Nazi, receives orders from Berlin to seize the Kaufmann's Michelangelo drawing, Unable to protect his friends, Rudi watches helplessly as the Kaufmanns are sent to a concentration camp. However, years later, when the Michelangelo drawing is to be presented to the Duce as a gift from the Fuhrer in order to seal their alliance with Italy, the drawing is determined to be a fake. Rudi is then given an order to retrieve Victor from the concentration camp for an interrogation to determine the whereabouts of the real Michelangelo. (forgalmazó hivatalos szövege)

A comedy with no humor, a drama without tension and a great theme wasted. This could have been made into a tense drama about a big friendship/hatred. This could have been made into a crazy comedy and black humor criticism of hypocrisy and going with the flow. For some strange reasons, it is that nice and pleasant type of movie, taking no sides and for all generations - that you can take your mom and grandma to the movie theater to watch; basically what we always criticize. Nothing wrong with that really, it isn’t bad in any specific way, but you get feelings of regret at moments when just how good it could have been shines through (for instance most of the situations after they changed places).
