Main Ideas

  • Exposing the atmosphere of terror and oppression prevailing in Nazi Germany, where fear becomes an inseparable part of daily life.
  • Depicting the breakdown of human relationships under the pressure of a totalitarian regime, as suspicion, denunciation, and estrangement infiltrate even the closest bonds.
  • Exploring the mechanisms of power that turn people into passive executors, stripped of the ability to resist or choose.
  • Reflecting on the role of art and the spoken word as the last refuge of truth in a world where reality is distorted and silenced by propaganda.
  • A subtle portrayal of the inner struggle between the desire to preserve dignity and the need to survive amid universal fear.
  • Exposing the illusion of safety, where everyone becomes a potential victim of the system, and poverty is not only material but also a spiritual state of society.
