It is Autumn 1938 and Europe stands on the brink of war. Adolf Hitler is preparing to invade Czechoslovakia and Neville Chamberlain's government desperately seeks a peaceful solution. With the pressure building, Hugh Legat, British civil servant, and Paul von Hartmann, German diplomat, travel to Munich for the emergency Conference. As negotiations begin, the two old friends find themselves at the center of a web of political subterfuge and very real danger.
"George MacKay, from '1917', returns to another war story, this time set in World War II and alongside Jeremy Irons. The historical context of the film is based on the story of Neville Chamberlain (Irons), Prime Minister of the United Kingdom from May 1937 to May 1940. The story follows the efforts of the young German diplomat Paul (Jannis Niewöhner) to smuggle a document to his former Oxford University classmate Hugh (George MacKay), now Chamberlain's private secretary. This event precedes World War II. It is a grandiose and different production, despite bringing a very recurrent theme in cinema."
