This is the summer of their lives and they don't want anybody to ruin it – not even the Nazis! Welcome to Europe in the 1930s, the beginning of National Socialism in Germany, to share a vacation trip with an irreverent author and his wife as they travel to Gripsholm. Based on the novel "Schloss Gripsholm" by Kurt Tucholsky, and directed by Xavier Koller, "Gripsholm" plunges viewers into the pleasure-craving, decadent world of Berlin cabaret at the beginning of the 1930s. Kurt is a German-Jewish publisher, ironic author and, thanks to his risqué chanson lyrics, a celebrated star of the cabaret. Kurt is invited to the Swedish palace of Gripsholm with his girlfriend, Lydia, and their friends for a summer that will change them all forever! (Cinemax)

While the first adaptation of "Gripsholm Castle" brought to the movie theater screen only a summer romance and a travelogue in the manner of "What Will My Wife Say to This?"..., in the version of a German couple travelling in Sweden, and the modern remake is the story of Tucholsky, who goes to Sweden and this journey inspires him to write a novel. Tucholsky does not have a happy future. Berlin is infested with Hitler's propaganda, and the journalist - although writing under a pseudonym - is no longer on firm footing. That's why he accepts the offer of the owner of Gripsholm for a summer holiday. His Berlin girlfriend, Princess Lydia, is a woman of her time, yet (or perhaps because of it) she longs for a child. The gradual branching out of their holiday household to include the aviator Karl and Berlin's most elegant lady, who disconcerts even the most free-spirited citizens of this world metropolis, brings a new dimension to this psychological romance. Charlie brings with him news from Germany, Billie replaces Tucholsky in Lydia's bedroom on the first night... I am very surprised and delighted by the difference between the two transcriptions of "Castle Gripsholm." Each version is a unique work in its own right and both can work alongside each other without one negating the other. ♪ Anna-Louise... ♫
