Max Rothman is an art dealer whom has social status as his Jewish family seems to be well-established. He has lost his right arm after being a veteran in World War I and is struggling to grasp the power of words rather paintings. Adolf Hitler in the movie is portrayed as just another soldier, unknown and unpopular. This is a young Hitler that people do not see. His art is not all that good and has quite a temper. Rothman and Hitler are polar opposites of each other, but nonetheless Hitler befriends Rothman establishes a close relationship with Rothman. We can see the hope and trust that Hitler shows Rothman, as he says that Rothman is "few born"
