In 1942, as the United States prepares to enter the Second World War, Hungarian-born Michael Curtiz is asked to direct the film, Casablanca. Curtiz, who is Jewish, hesitates, as he is trying to get his sister out of Hungary and an anti-German film directed by her brother could mean danger for her. Later, as Curtiz grapples with the troubled production, his daughter unexpectedly appears on the set demanding to know why her father abandoned her as a child. (Montreal World Film Festival)
