BYE BYE GERMANY, a Bittersweet Post-War Comedy, Opens in New York on Today

Bye Bye Germany opens in New York on April 27 with Phoenix, Ft. Lauderdale, San Francisco, Boston, Washington D.C. and More!

Frankfurt, 1946: David Bermann (Moritz Bleibtreu, Run Lola Run) is determined to make the most of the ravaged postwar era by recruiting some friends from a displaced persons camp to sell linens at inflated prices to unsuspecting Germans. Most of the group have a simple motivation: to raise the money necessary to leave Germany behind and move on to the United States. But David has a secret, and the beautiful American Army investigator Sara Simon (Antje Traue, Man of Steel) is determined to uncover it. Peppered with Yiddish flavor, this picaresque comedy-drama tells the untold story of the Jewish men and woman whose grit allowed them to succeed in postwar Germany against all odds, and ultimately paved the way for reconciliation.
