Summary

Button's fifth and last film before he flew Germany. Every copy got destroyed after Goebbel's order. The only thing we know is a plot overview by Button himself. A theater troupe prepares to stage a play about a theater troupe preparing to stage a play about a theater troupe preparing to stage a play etc. It all gets so tangled that at the end nobody knows what their role is, they stop rehearsing, actors are lead to insanity and above all they can't surpass great economical problems. At the finale a rude theater electrician turns off the lights and says "Since nobody understands the art, we better turn off the lights. I'll show you the way to the exit." That character was name Adolf.
