The Harmonists
Directed by Joseph Vilsmaier
Produced by Beta Film, Senator Film
A bittersweet biographical drama about a beloved German musical ensemble whose rise and camaraderie are shadowed by the inexorable rise of Nazi antisemitism.
Comedian Harmonists tells the story of a famous, German male sextet, five vocals and piano, the "Comedian Harmonists", from the day they meet first in 1927 to the day in 1934, when they become banned by the upcoming Nazis, because three of them are Jewish.
