directed by Larissa Lury

Jobs are scarce, the country's in debt, yet everyone loses money on beer, roller coasters and love. America 2010? No, Germany, 1930s. In one night at Oktoberfest, von Horváth's characters vie for a sense of worth, in a game of calculation and chance. Surrounded by music, amidst talented circus freaks and a zeppelin circling over-head, they fall in with the world's most beautiful and dangerously manipulative power: love.
