Stefan Zweig: Farewell to Europe
Before Dawn charts the years of exile in the life of famous Austrian writer Stefan Zweig, his inner struggle for the "right attitude" toward the events in war torn Europe, and his search for a new home.
In 1936, Stefan Zweig, the illustrious author of " 24 Hours of a Woman's Life" and "Letter from an Unknown Woman", leaves Austria for South America. Being an Austrian of jewish origin and disapointed from the inhumanity that prevails in Germany while threatening his native country, he has decided to escape the specter of National Socialism. Brazil is his chosen country.
He is immediately hailed at Rio de Janeiro's Jockey Club by the local jet set. But whereas expect him to take sides and to make a statement against Hitler and his clique, Zweig refuses to renounce his humanity and to indulge in over-simplification: he just cannot condemn Germany and its people.
On the other hand, the great writer literally falls in love with Brazil and undertakes the writing of a new book about the country.
Accompanied by Lotte, his second wife he explores different regions, including the most remote ones.
