The character and roles of a personage. His role on stage, at the cinema, in life and in history? He finds himself faced with the dilemma as to which role he can accept and which he has to refuse. Where to situate the actual character of the man in this combat? How a greatly talented man is only able to live in success and for this support of everyone is needed, will he finish by becoming an instrument of badness?
The career of a great actor from the Nazi era.
