Synopsis:

At the end of WWII, during the Liberation of Paris, Adolf Hitler decides to erase the most famous constructions of Paris while the city is still under control of his Wehrmacht. The Eiffel Tower, the Louvre, the Place de la Concorde, the Notre Dame and other places are already meticulously prepared to become wasteland. This all is overseen by German general Dietrich von Choltitz who has his headquarters at the Hotel Meurice. On August 24 1944 the general is supposed to give the order to go through with everything as planned. But before he does, the Swedish diplomat Raoul Nordling sneaks through a secret passageway into the German general's office and confronts him. His aim is to stall him until the Allies save Paris or even to convince the old soldier to disobey.

A historical drama that depicts the relationship between Dietrich von Choltitz, the German military governor of occupied Paris, and Swedish consul-general Raoul Nordling.

A game of diplomatic brinksmanship saves Paris from imminent destruction in Volker Schlondorff's classy, superbly acted historical drama.
