The film is about a young man, Arnold Richter, who suddenly travels in time from Germany 1932 to a near-future where a new dictatorship rises. There he gets involved in events and adventures which lead to a full-blown revolution.[2]

The production was filmed in Germany. The cast mostly consisted of German actors, such as , along with Helmut Berger, Harry Lennix, Rick Shapiro, Angus Macfadyen and Zachi Noy. Alexander Tuschinski wrote many major parts specifically with the actors portraying them in mind,[4] and worked on the characters in close connection with the actors during preparation and during filming.[5]

For sequences set on the Eastern Front in 1945, the film uses one of the few drivable Soviet T-34/85 tanks in Germany.[6] Those scenes were filmed near Dresden. Sequences depicting American troops on the Western Front in 1944 were filmed in an old factory building in Stuttgart.[2]

The film was scheduled to have its world premiere in 2016.[7] After multiple festival screenings in 2017 (among them at Berlin Independent Film Festival[8] and Hollywood Reel Independent Film Festival where it won "Best International Film"[9]) it was released on Amazon in January 2018.
