Taking Sides

The reputation of a renowned conductor is put to the test as a dogged investigator uncovers dark secrets about the maestro's past, leading to a clash between artistic freedom and moral accountability.

In the final days of World War II, renowned conductor Wilhelm Furtwängler is advised to flee Berlin by a Nazi minister, but he stays behind. After the war, he faces a denazification hearing, where he is interrogated by Major Steve Arnold about his associations with the Nazi regime. The investigation reveals Furtwängler's complex past, including his relationships with Hitler and other prominent figures in the Nazi party. Despite his questionable actions, Furtwängler is ultimately exonerated, but the experience leaves a lasting impact on those involved.
