Of all the tales from Weimar Germany there is none stranger than that of Zishe Breitbart (Jouko Ahola). He was a Jewish blacksmith s son who became a sensation in Berlin in the 1930s performing as a mythical Nordic-style strongman. His employer was con-man, cabaret show promoter and self-proclaimed mystic Hannussen (Tim Roth) who dreamed of forming a Ministry of the Occult in Hitler s government. As anti-Semitism took hold, Hannussen s star act decides he has been chosen by God to warn his people.

Werner Herzog s fundamental and quite brilliant allegorical fable boasts an original score by legendary composers Hans Zimmer and Klaus Badelt.
