Euphoric Nights in Vienna

Asmahan - Syrian Druze princess, film diva, music icon and femme fatale of the Arab world in the 1940s. When Vienna was heavily bombed by the Allies during World War II, she sang „Euphoric Nights in Vienna“ and created a myth of Vienna that has affected desires and hopes of travellers and immigrants from the Middle East until today. Just a few weeks after her performance she died under mysterious circumstances. The film traces the promises of the song, visits important sights of Asmahan’s life and meets protagonists searching for identity between East and West, between dreams and reality.
