action
Two UFA employees drive together with Ministerialdirektor Schimmelpfennig by car from West Berlin to Potsdam to the Sanssouci Palace in order to persuade the haunted Friedrich II to work on a new film about himself. The daily newspaper Die Welt has already written about the fact that at the founding meeting of the new UFA, whose director, under the motto: "The old spirit lives", pointed out that the monumental film Fridericus Rex - Eleventh Part was a first contribution to the ideological arming of the free World is done.
Friedrich II, who no longer wanted to haunt Potsdam because the common people lost themselves on their land, this offer came at just the right time and he moved to West Berlin with Schimmel and Leibhusar to film. Of course it wasn't difficult for him to be filmed on the white horse in the fray. But when the director asked for advice from the German Army General Saliva, instead of the exclamation “Dogs, you want to live forever” to declaim the wording “Citizens, forward in defense of the free world”, he asked for his payment in dollars.
