And Tomorrow the Entire World (German: '''Und morgen die ganze Welt''')[1] is a 2020 German-French political drama film directed by Julia von Heinz.[2] It premiered in competition at the 77th Venice International Film Festival.[3] [4] It was selected as the German entry for the Best International Feature Film at the 93rd Academy Awards, but it was not nominated.[5] [6] The title of the film is taken from the line "Today Germany belongs to us, and tomorrow the whole world" from the National Socialist propaganda song "The Rotten Bones Tremble".[7]
Luisa, a 20-year-old law student from an upper-class family, moves in to a collective housing squat and becomes an anti-fascist activist because she is opposed to the rise of the neo-Nazi political right in Germany.[8]
The plot is partly inspired by the biography of director Julia von Heinz, who engaged in anti-fascism herself when she was younger.[9] The political design of the movie's right-wing "Liste 14" party is also a reference to that of the group Alternative for Germany.[10]
The film was produced by the motion picture companies Seven Elephants, Kings & Queens Filmproduktion, and Haïku Films on behalf of the public broadcasting channels Südwestrundfunk, Westdeutscher Rundfunk, Bayerischer Rundfunk, and Arte.[11] It received financial support by the FilmFernsehFonds Bayern, the Medienboard Berlin-Brandenburg, the Centre national du cinéma et de l'image animée, the Minitraité, the Medien- und Filmgesellschaft Baden-Württemberg, the Deutscher Filmförderfonds, and the Filmförderungsanstalt.[12] The support of the Filmförderungsanstalt accounted for 310,000 Euro.[13]
