Politics doesn't matter to Lola Blau. The young Jewish woman has just completed her acting training in Vienna and is eager to start her first engagement at the Linz State Theater. But then the National Socialists invaded Austria and put an abrupt end to her career before it even started. At the urging of her boyfriend Leo, Lola flees to Switzerland and from there to the USA, where success at the theater finally sets in. But she waited in vain for Leo throughout the war.
In view of the influence of flight, war and personal loss on her private life, Lola experiences her political awareness - not without being confronted with a feeling of profound powerlessness. If you look at the current world situation, Lola's personal experiences - immortalized in Georg Kreisler's haunting songs - suddenly become frighteningly topical for us...
