Beware of Pity - Trailer

Описание: Beware of Pity (Ungeduld des Herzens)

ADAPTED FROM THE BOOK BY STEFAN ZWEIG. DIRECTED BY SIMON MCBURNEY

Simon McBurney directs the outstanding Schaubühne ensemble in a vivid account of a young man’s slide into a terrible situation, his struggle to extricate himself from it raising questions of consciousness and compassion.

Young officer Hofmiller commits a faux pas at a soirée held by a Baron, unwittingly asking his paralysed daughter to dance. The mistake pulls him into a relentless chain of events in this devastating depiction of honour, love and betrayal, realised against the disintegration of the Austro-Hungarian Empire – a catalyst for the outbreak of the First World War.
