Curtiz
1942. America is on the edge of war. Hungarian-born film director MICHAEL CURTIZ (56), under governmental pressure, gets a chance to influence public opinion about war, thus gaining international recognition by directing a new propaganda film: CASABLANCA.
It does not come the best time though. Curtiz works to help her Jewish sister emigrate from Hungary before the nazis get to her, also, his daughter appears on set with the purpose of getting answers why Curtiz had abandoned her as a child. Can Curtiz overcome his famously arrogant and cynical personality? What sacrifices make a man to become a patriot in a foreign country, a good brother and an honest father at the same time? What should his main character, Rick choose in the end of Casablanca?
