Alle in einem Boot (2020): cast, story & where to watch

Released in 2020, Alle in einem Boot is a drama film directed by Tobias Stille, running about 91 minutes. “A group of German actors rehearse a Jewish refugees drama of 1939 when being payed a visit by today's Arabic refugees who want to be part of the story.” — that tagline sets the tone.

What it’s about. A group of actors are rehearsing an historic escape from Germany of 1939: The Cruise Liner St. Louis is on its way to Cuba, 900 Jewish refugees on board. Cuba denies access. On board: Paul, Elsa and their son. Do they have to return to Germany again and probably die? A group of today refugees from Africa, fleeing from war and death in Syria, enter the theatre. They are supposed to work here as extras. A culture clash begins and becomes a crossover story between escape 79 years ago and today.
