"There's no point in fooling yourself into thinking that a relationship has a chance if your respective record collections only create dissonance and your personal favorite films have nothing to say to each other, even at a party."

When the actor Hendrik Höfgen had his first successes in Hamburg, the "province" had long been too small for him. He wanted to be seen at any price. And he did manage to make the leap: in Berlin, where people were celebrating and dancing ecstatically in the last days of the Weimar Republic, he soon began to shine, both on stage and in the salons. He was politically left-wing and planned a "revolutionary theater." In 1933, it all seemed to be over. But he made arrangements and, as a celebrated star of the new regime, soon rose to the position of director of the state theater. He accepted that this meant betraying old friends. He demanded to be allowed to be apolitical in a time that made that impossible: "I'm just a completely ordinary actor."
