| Based on the memories of the longest surviving member of a 1930s German barbershop sextet, this musical drama chronicles the life and times of six musicians who form a harmony group. Shortly after their rise to fame, authorities pressured them to either lose the three Jewish members in the group or perform material more fitting to National Socialism. While a successful trip to New York tempted several members to stay, they all returned home to perform a final, heart-wrenching concert. | |||||
