Paul Dessau has been all together – a violinist, conductor, composer and music teacher. As a Jew, he emigrated to Hollywood during World War II; being a convinced communist, he settled over to the former GDR in 1948 and once became a state composer who was mainly celebrated on the outside, but sharply criticized on the inside. The remarkably dazzling life of the German musician Paul Dessau is more than a good story and virtually cries out for the making of a very special film.
