Ein ganz gewöhnlicher Jude

Just an Ordinary Jew

Based on a book by the Swiss author Charles Lewinsky, in the middle of this one-man film, "Just an Ordinary Jew", is the Jewish journalist, Emanuel Goldfarb, who is invited to speak at a school about his daily life as a "Jewish fellow citizen". Thinking that the whole thing is an idiotic idea, as more than enough has already been said on this subject, Goldfarb writes a letter to the teacher, refusing the invitation. Yet, to his own surprise, it develops into a general settling of accounts with the German-Jewish relation.
