The outstanding reputation of the Schauspielhaus Zurich is based on artists exiled during the Nazi era, such as Bertolt Brecht and Therese Giehse. The theatre became a centre of cultural resistance against fascism in Europe. After the war, the theatre established itself with Frisch and Dürrenmatt and modern American authors. What has been forgotten is that this was all thanks to a German Jew: Kurt Hirschfeld.

Solidarity is an irresistible feeling we celebrate, but in fact, it is mostly contradictory. This documentary delves into the phenomenon itself and uncovers the universal power of human rights.
