Diplomacy
Directed by Volker Schlöndorff
Produced by ARTE, Film Oblige
A tense historical drama centered on a single night of moral negotiation between two men, where words and conscience become weapons against destruction.
On the night of August 24, 1944, the fate of Paris rests with General von Choltitz, who plans to destroy the city on Hitler's orders. As the general prepares to detonate explosives throughout the capital, Swedish consul Raoul Nordling uses diplomacy in a desperate bid to convince him to defy the orders and save Paris.
