About the film:
The notary Dr. Bartok underestimates the threat posed to Austria by the German National Socialists and ends up in solitary confinement by the Gestapo in Vienna in 1938. This is intended to break his silence regarding the accounts of the Austrian nobility he manages. To remain mentally active, he learns chess on his own while in prison.
