Alexander, a journalist and former actor and philosopher, tells his little son how worried he is about the lack of spirituality of modern mankind. In the night of his birthday, the third world war breaks out. In his despair Alexander turns himself in a prayer to God, offering him everything to have the war not happened at all.

"FORMAT: 35mm CONDITION: ★★½ NOTES: UK release print. Some notable typos in the subtitles (“litteraly” “I’ven”). Also very worn out visually; colours are perfect except at a point while Marta breaks down when it appears to change tone for a moment. Towards the end of the first reel, an entire chunk of the film appears to have burned off, skipping from Alexander talking to Otto to Otto riding off on his bicycle. DATE: December 23rd 2023 CINEMA: Curzon LOCATION: Soho"
