Wilhelm Franz Canaris (1 January 1887 – 9 April 1945) was a German admiral and chief of the Abwehr, the German military intelligence service, from 1935 to 1944. During the Second World War, he was among the military officers involved in the clandestine opposition to Adolf Hitler and the Nazi regime. He was executed in Flossenbürg concentration camp for the act of high treason.
Canaris was born in Aplerbeck (now a part of Dortmund) in Westphalia, the son of Carl Canaris, a rich industrialist, and his wife Auguste Popp. Canaris himself believed that his family was related to the 19th-century Greek admiral, freedom fighter, and politician Constantine Kanaris, a belief that influenced his decision to join the Imperial German Navy. While on a visit to Corfu, he was given a portrait of the Greek hero that he always kept in his office. However, according to Richard Bassett, a genealogical investigation in 1938 revealed that his family was actually of Northern Italian descent, originally called Canarisi, and had lived in Germany since the 17th century. His grandfather had converted from Roman Catholicism to Lutheranism.

Plot: Three Polish mathematicians are the first to crack the sophisticated Enigma code used by the Germans just before the Second World War. They build replicas of the Enigma machines and manage to get two of the machines to the British and French code-breakers before the German invasion of Poland in 1939; they ask that recognition be given to their work at the end of the war. After the invasion, the Polish cipher bureau escapes and continues their decoding in Algeria and unoccupied France. Despite being tortured, they refuse to divulge their knowledge of the Enigma to the Nazis.

Początkowo należał do grona oddanych zwolenników Hitlera. Kolejne błędne decyzje Führera zachwiały jednak wiarą admirała w pozytywne dla Niemiec zakończenie wojny. Canaris rzekomo miał kontaktować się z agencjami wywiadowczymi państw alianckich w celu ustalenia dogodnych dla III Rzeszy warunków kapitulacji. W lipcu 1944 roku admirał został aresztowany i oskarżony o udział w spisku mającym na celu zgładzenie Hitlera. Mimo że był wielokrotnie przesłuchiwany i brutalnie torturowany przez SS, nie przyznał się do winy.
Zasvětil život Německu, aby nakonec zjistil, že všechno byl jeden velký omyl. Téměř deset let byl šéfem abwehru, tedy vojenské zpravodajské služby vrchního velení wehrmachtu. Byl mužem nevelkého vzrůstu, avšak o to většího významu. Nepatřil sice k oněm aktérům, kteří vystupují na veřejnosti, přesto v zákulisí významně ovlivňoval události, v nichž šlo o miliony lidských životů. Film jako takový vydařeně kombinuje efektní špionážní drama s působivou biografií Canarise, která na jedné straně vyzdvihuje admirálovy protirežimní aktivity, na druhé potom ukazuje šéfa Abwehru jako nekompromisního cynika a fatalistu.

ABSOLUTES is a program of three solos. Performers are separated, isolated, each in a bubble, each attempting to reach completion, perfection- an absolute. It is the abstract yearning for one’s ultimate self that transforms the scenes into simple close-ups of three individuals trying to deal with the contemporary environment. MAN OF THE MOMENT performed by Jens Bjerregaard A brutal meeting between childhood patterns and the ironic adult world. FUR performed by Lodie Kardouss A “shy” soul looking for something to hold on to. TO BE performed by Maura Morales A longing body in transformation. As the body unfolds, a surprising encounter occurs. ABSOLUTES is supported by the Danish Arts Council and Wilhelm Hansen Foundation. It was created and premiered in Lebanon in September 2013.
