Storyline
A slightly ironical description of the colony of German artists in Los Angeles, who had to leave their country during the Nazi-regime. A young playwriter (von Horvath) joins them and finds out, that there are gaps between the artistical attitudes and the real live behavior of authors like Thomas or Heinrich Mann, Lion Feuchtwanger or Bertold Brecht. Written by Silent Steve <stumm@bsi.de>

Bertolt Brecht: Well, that's the most boring suggestion I've heard all week. You can respect my differences if you like. I despise yours.
