The son of Polish Jews, who survived the Holocaust because he was able to flee to the Soviet Union, founded the Berlin CCC studios in 1946 and developed into one of the most important film producers in Europe in the 1950s. Many successful entertainment films of the German post-war era go to his account. All in all, he produced many hundreds of films, for which he not only earned recognition for their quality of content. The money he earned was invested in ambitious film projects that work up the time of the Holocaust and the persecution of the Jews in Europe. On the shelf in his office are both an Oscar and a Golden Globe in addition to countless German film awards. The very intimate portrait shows not only the most important stages of his career on the basis of countless film clips and the hardworking producer, who hurries from appointment to appointment, but also the private person Brauner, the untalented, but passionate hobby singer, the party lion and the spiritus rector of the Jewish community in Berlin, who campaigns for the interests of the state of Israel. An insight into a century's life.
