The documentary tells the story of Joseph Goebbels' European Writers' Union and the three authors who backed Germany's new cultural order, the film's description reads. In October 1941, Goebbels invited thirty-seven European writers to a month-long seminar - his plan was to create a European Writers' Union to promote the German vision of the world. Thirty-six men and one woman accepted the invitation and boarded the train to Weimar. Did they know that the next stop after Weimar was Buchenwald? Who were these men, who was the woman? What happened to the Union following the fall of the Third Reich? Where did propaganda begin and where did it end? What was the true cost of the ticket for this trip?
