Welcome in Vienna

Following "An uns glaubt Gott nicht mehr" (1982) and "Santa Fe" (1986), this is the last chapter ot Corti's "Holocaust trilogy". After having emigrated to the US, Viennese jew Freddy Wolf joins the army and returns to Europe in order to fight the Nazis. In Salzburg, he falls in love with actress Claudia and follows her to Vienna. Meanwhile, his friend Sergeant Adler, a Jewish communist born in Berlin, painfully realizes that both Americans and Soviets are pardoning Nazi criminals for strategical reasons. Disillusioned, the idealist becomes an opportunist and tries to cash in on the black market. While everyone around him seems to accommodate to the new order, Freddy feels torn between the different fractions. Finally, Claudia leaves him for Adler.
