MAX (cert 12)

Max – a Jew from a wealthy, middle class, German family – returns from the Great War to Munich and opens, in a dilapidated railway yard, a successful art gallery. When he meets an impoverished artist and fellow veteran of the Battle of Ypres – one Adolf Hitler – Max is moved by pity and shared experience, and a tentative relationship begins.
