Move a little to the left, please.
Adele, you are restless.
I worry too much, you know that.
About what?
The future.
Sit with me, Maria.
Try to smile, Maria.
It's good to exercise your facial muscles once a year.
I see you, Maria. Come closer.
Why don't you help your aunt?
Put on my favorite necklace.
Your little fingers are perfect for the job.
One day, you'll have to stop being so timid.
Life will demand it of you.
Your only enemy is fear.
Ladies and gentleman, we are about to land in Vienna.
Please fasten your seatbelts.
When our daughter Maria said she was marrying an opera singer,
we decided he would sing Mozart at the wedding.
Let's keep the whole thing Austrian, I said.
These are troubling times.
Let us hope that this memorable evening is a harbinger of happier days.
It makes me sad your Aunt Adele is not here today.
She would have been proud of you.
I am sad too, uncle.
At least she's not alive to witness what is happening to the country she loved.
I want...
...you to have this, Maria.
Her favorite.
You are headstrong and inquiring.
Something of Adele's spirit is in you.
I will always treasure it.
There you are, sister. Come, Maria, it's time for cake.
The whole world has been looking for you.
Quickly, I'm hungry. You have to help me cut it, Luise.
That Maria of yours is a heart stealer.
The Chancellor has conceded on every front.
Hitler has made an empty promise about Austrian sovereignty.
But my bet is that by the end of the month the Nazis will
be marching round the Ringstrasse in their jackboots.
The Austrians will not allow it.
I will leave for Zurich on Sunday with Luise.
By next week, the rest of you must join us.
There will be much to do. We must take our time.
Like always, you are a dreamer.
Do you like it?
Why is it all gold?
Ignore the gold. That's Klimt.
Look at my face. Does it resemble me?
Yes, but I don't think you look happy.
I wonder what it will be like to be a woman
when you are older,
whether you will have to amuse yourself with trivialities.
Portrait of Adele, painted by Klimt.
One of our most famous paintings. A wonderful example of Austria's heritage.
Quickly, let's get home.
The government has announced that citizens
may not leave the country without authorization.
These new regulations will be enforced immediately.
My brother was right. We should have left already.
Look.
It's Mrs. Klein, the doctor's wife.
What are they doing to her?
Forcing her to clean the pavement with acid.
And Mr. Rosenblatt was made to write "Jew" on his shop window.
But why?
Why do you think, Therese?
Fetch my cello, Maria.
What for, Father?
It's nearly five.
Why should this Saturday be different from any other?
Because it is.
I will not allow them to touch us.
- Father. - The cello, Maria.
Go.
The passport office will close at 2 p.m. until further notice.
Denied. Next.
My husband's brother is in England, and my sister is in Switzerland.
We have places to stay in both countries.
There are only four of us,
but we need to leave Austria as soon as possible.
So do all the other Jews.
What makes you so special?
Denied. Next.
Your business is finished. Paint.
Jewish pigs. Serves you right.
Don't look.
Thank heavens. We were worried.
Open the door!
They're here.
Of course they are.
Fritz, open the door.
Yes, sir.
Ferdinand Bloch-Bauer?
My brother is in Switzerland on business.
Is that what it's called?
Your brother's sugar company is guilty of tax evasion amounting to one million Reichsmark.
His assets have been frozen until the money is paid.
This officer will be staying with you.
From now on, you are under house arrest.
My uncle is a law-abiding citizen.
You are a family that appreciates the power of art.
Holbein.
Impressive.
A silver cup with precious stones.
A diamond necklace.
Two silver candlesticks.
A cello!
Stradivarius.
Of course, only the best.
No, please.
It is his joy.
This is a first step in making reparation
towards those whose art was unlawfully taken from them.
The mountain landscape hung in the main room of our house.
It was the first thing you saw when you opened the front door.
Mrs. Altmann, a powerful speech you gave.
But why don't you let the past be the past?
You people never give up, do you? Not everything is about the Holocaust.
My brother has booked the last two tickets to Cologne.
And then what?
From Cologne, we go to the border.
There's a contact.
He's been paid to smuggle us across.
When is the ﬂight to Cologne?
Eight o'clock this evening.
- I can't leave my parents. - It's our last chance, Maria.
But someone has to drive us to the airport.
A friend of my father owes him a favor.
He will never let us out of his sight.
I have an idea.
But first, I have to say goodbye to them.
The time has come, hasn't it?
You know as well as I do
they won't let my father fetch a doctor
because he has committed the crime of being Jewish.
So the least you can do is let us go to the pharmacy.
And why do you both need to go?
For God's sake, if you're that worried we're going to run away,
why not come with us?
Fine.
I'll take you.
But we come straight back.
Shame.
I was hoping we could all go to the cinema.
- Don't be more than a minute. - One minute, that's all.
- Good evening. - Good evening.
What can I do for you?
My father has a very high fever.
We need something to lower his temperature.
One moment.
Right, this should help.
Keys!
What are you doing?
I'm feeling faint. I need air. Please open the door.
The soldier smoking on the street is with you?
- No, please open the door, quickly. - Of course, you are Jews.
They're trying to get away! Quickly!
That way.
Are you sure this heads to the Town Hall?
Yes.
Go! I'll meet you there!
Jewish scum.
They went in there.
The car.
Catch them.
Thank you.
I'd do anything for your family. Good luck.
Your tickets, please.
- Traveling to Cologne? - Cologne, yes.
You have no luggage?
It's all very unexpected. We are going for one night.
My husband is understudying Wotan at the Cologne Opera.
Their baritone has fallen ill.
Van Karajan is conducting. We're very excited.
- Good luck. - Thank you.
Next.
Announcement for passengers of Flight 12, destination Cologne.
Due to unforeseen circumstances, your departure has been delayed.
Our apologies for any inconvenience caused.
Ladies and gentlemen, we're ready to start boarding.
Please have your tickets ready for inspection.
There are passengers who will not be boarding this ﬂight tonight.
Herr Stefan Neumann and Herr Karl Neumann!
Make yourselves known!
Please approach.
Ladies and gentlemen.
It's from my sister.
She's waiting for us in California.
But she's had news from Vienna.
Your father?
It starts in two minutes.
The time has come, hasn't it?
Come here, my darling.
I'm leaving now.
You are doing the right thing.
But I don't want to.
You must leave, Maria.
You must move forward. There is no future for you here.
America will be your home.
Take us with you in your heart, Maria, and learn to be happy again.
Can I help you?
I know this house. Can I look around?
Of course. Please.
Maria! Maria! Come here, bring the loops
