Plot: Munich, 1918. German-Jew Max Rothman has returned to much of his pre-war life which includes to his wife Nina and their two children, to his mistress Liselore von Peltz, and to his work as an art dealer. He has however not returned to being an aspiring painter as he lost his dominant right arm during the war. He is approached by an aspiring painter, a thirty-year old Austrian war veteran named 'Adolf Hitler' (qv), who wants him to show his works. Although he doesn't think the paintings are all that original and he doesn't really like Hitler as a person, Rothman takes Hitler under his wings if only because of their camaraderie of being war veterans, and knowing that Hitler had nothing and no one to come back to after the war unlike himself. Rothman believes that Hitler has promise if only he can find his original artistic point of view. In part out of need for money, Hitler, on the urging of Captain Karl Mayr, agrees to work for the army as a political spokesman in anti-Semitic propaganda. Slowly, Hitler's view becomes a holistic one of a new world, where he begins to meld his art and politics. Rothman becomes excited about Hitler's artistic viewpoint, despite its anti-Semitic bent. The question becomes if the sentiments behind the view will take over its artistic merit.

Quotes:

Max Rothman: Hitler, come on. I'll buy you a glass of lemonade.

Max Rothman: You're an awfully hard man to like, Hitler, but I'm gonna try. Because if I've learned anything over the past four years, it's that we all shit the same, scream the same, and die the same.

Max Rothman: So you're an anti-Semite.::Adolf Hitler: On the contrary, I admire the Jews.::Max Rothman: Really?::Adolf Hitler: Yes, they're very intelligent people.::Max Rothman: Well, there are intelligent ones and not so intelligent ones...::Adolf Hitler: No, no, no, they're all intelligent because they guard the purity of their blood.::Max Rothman: The what?::Adolf Hitler: The purity of the blood. Because the secret of the Jews lies in their pure Jewish blood. That's why they're the mightiest counterpart to the Aryan race.::Max Rothman: What's the secret?::Adolf Hitler: Is your father Jewish?::Max Rothman: Yes, he is.::Adolf Hitler: Mother?::Max Rothman: Why not ask whether she's a German? Isn't that a far more relevant question?::Adolf Hitler: Mensch! Of course your mom's Jewish.::Max Rothman: You're an awfully hard man to like, Hitler, but I'm gonna try, because if I've learned anything over the past four years, it's that we all shit the same, scream the same, and die the same.::Adolf Hitler: There's no need for vulgarity, Rothman.::Max Rothman: I know where you've been and God knows we've all been turned into assholes there. Now listen to me well: you may not think you're an anti-Semite, but in fact you are.::Adolf Hitler: I'm not.::Max Rothman: But in this, as in all things, there's a reason. Your own hero Nietzsche said anti-Semitism is the ideology of those who feel cheated.::Adolf Hitler: How do you know Nietzsche's my hero?::Max Rothman: Because you've obviously skimmed his ideas.::Adolf Hitler: Well, I don't feel cheated.::Max Rothman: Excellent. Then stop acting like it.::Adolf Hitler: Are you gonna smoke another cigarette? You just put one out.::Max Rothman: Exactly. But now where is my instinct, my secret instinct for self-preservation, I ask you? I've heard these theories all my life: blood science, eugenics; it's rubbish. It's complete nonsense. It's kitsch. Put it out of your mind. It's not modern. It's not scientific. It will hold you back as an artist.

George Grosz: What's his name?::Max Rothman: Hitler.::George Grosz: Never heard of him.::Max Rothman: You will.

Max Rothman: Try not to be one of those people who finds a slight in any compliment.

Max Rothman: [to His Kids] Hello midgets.

Max Rothman: [referring to Hitler] He had a bad war.

Max Rothman: I've seen the future. Believe me, it came straight at us. There's no future in the future.

Liselore Von Peltz: I didn't know you had a Monet.::Max Rothman: [mouths] I don't.

Liselore Von Peltz: Where's your wife?::Max Rothman: Waiting for her entrance, I suppose.::Liselore Von Peltz: And where does that leave me?::Max Rothman: Talented, with options.
