Paul Dessau - Let´s hope for the best

Violinist, composer and conductor, living through two world wars, caught between east and west, capitalism and communism: the remarkable and glittering life of German artist Paul Dessau is more than a good story – it is designated for the medium of film. This is an encounter with an exceptional man and his music: a non-conformist personality, whose character could be tremendously affectionate, laconic and funny, as well as edgy, gnarled and uncompromising.
