Brandes's Decision

Brandes, a painter living in Nazi-occupied Paris has a tough decision to make: Goring has taken away all his artwork and asked him to hand over his Lucas Cranach painting, a family heirloom. If he relinquishes the Cranach, he will recover all his pictures in exchange. If he refuses, he will never get them back. In his search for a solution, Brandes reflects on the deeper meaning of things and their true values.
