Synopsis:

Levi is a Jewish man living alone in a small village in Germany in the mid-1930's. He does a good business buying and selling, he courts the farmer's daughter, and he chats with his pet rabbit during his long road trips. But then there's a cave-in at a nearby railroad tunnel, and this brings the railroad engineer and workers and bureaucrats from Nazi Berlin. Suddenly things get difficult, and not just for Levi.

In 1935 the sole Jewish inhabitant (Bruno Cathomas) of a Black Forest village encounters anti-Semitism when Nazis roll into town.
