Summary
A film screening on an improvised screen 1,200 kilometers east of Addis Ababa in the middle of the wilderness: "Reception by the Emperor of Austria". Cinema makes it possible. For the first time, the audience sees their real-life hero in a completely different role: on the big screen, as an actor, as the Emperor of Austria, together with Romy Schneider. Karlheinz Boehm, the star of some of the most successful German-language film productions (Sissi), found his calling and a new home as a helper and benefactor for the poor in Ethiopia, where they know him as Mr. Karl.
This is the true story of a famous actor, his work with Fassbinder and Michael Powell, the tragedy of Africa in a globalized world, and the courage that one man had to change his own life for the well-being of others.
