Oscar

Oscar tells the story of an Austrian Jewish teenager who, exiled with his family to a village in the Vicentine Alps, wins over the locals by sharing his passion for jazz. He joins the town band, creating bonds with the community, including the podestà’s sons. The film takes a dramatic turn after the German occupation begins on September 8, prompting the family to flee with the assistance of local partisans, ultimately leading them safely across the Swiss border.

The film is loosely based on the true story of jazz musician Oscar Klein’s escape in 1944. It intertwines elements of music and wartime struggles, making it a distinctive narrative within the drama genre. Collectors may appreciate the film's unique historical perspective and its connection to jazz, a genre that holds significant cultural value.
