Music Box is Golden Bear Award winner for best legal drama, in which Gavras touches upon extremely sensitive topic of the World War II. An American court summons a citizen of Hungary who has lived in USA for many years. The case dates back to almost 50 years before, which becomes a precedent. When he is accused of collaborating with the Nazis, a young, popular lawyer decides to defend him. The case becomes complicated to a great extent by the fact that she is… his daughter.
