Maybe it was in the wrong place.

Yeah, I was looking in the wrong place.

Anyway, they said, we have it.

It's called The Director.

The Director by Daniel Kelman.

That's K-E-H-L-M-A-N.

German, it's translated.

So you're going, okay.

Cover of it's really interesting.

It's orange and it's this kind of cartoon...

profile of a face with with little glasses and what it is is how do i describe this properly it is set in the 1930s he's a famous hollywood director who actually existed so it's historical fiction his name is pabst p-a-b-s-t if uh and he's making his movies and then uh he's doing only okay he goes has to go home to to uh austria ostland that has become because the nazis have taken over

And the next thing you know, he's kind of looking after his mother or whatever.

He gets somebody from the ministry comes along and says, now you'll be making films for us.

And he says, I don't think so.

That's not really my thing.

I'm known as Paps the Red.

I'm essentially a communist over in the United States.

And they said, no, you'll be making films for us.

And if you don't, you can go to the camp.

Now, which one would you like to do?
