Münchhausen

The year marks the 25th anniversary of UFA, Germany's leading film studio, and Joseph Goebbels, the mastermind behind the nation's propaganda machine, dreams of a lavish production to commemorate this milestone. In his pursuit for an extraordinary tale to bring such vision to life, he turns to the legendary exploits of Baron von Münchhausen - an eccentric historical figure known for his fanciful accounts of adventure. With stories that rival the myths of Paul Bunyan and the exploits of classic legends like Odysseus, Goebbels commissions an adaptation capturing the essence of this 18th-century enigma. The film delves into the fantastical world of the Baron's tales, weaving together a series of remarkable events that transport viewers to the bygone era of adventure and intrigue.
