Victor Spinetti plays Albert Einstein in this new dark comedy about the legendary scientist having a very bad day: his house is empty, his cat is missing and he is driving himself mad with the question ‘did I do the right thing?’ When a family friend, newly released from a Chinese POW camp, comes to visit, a warm reunion soon becomes an explosive collision of opposing beliefs on the subjects of evil, the winning of wars, and the construction of the world’s first weapon of mass destruction: the atomic bomb.
