He is seeking to renew an "enchanting friendship" of his youth with aristocrat Konradin Von Lohenburg (West). Strauss was the son of a Jewish doctor and the friends did not see that around them the rise of Nazism would lead to their separation. Their travels together and philosophical discussions against the elegant background of 1930s Stuttgart form the main part of the film, told in flashback. The older Henry's search for his childhood friend leads to a startling revelation as he discovers what became of Konradin after Hitler took power. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Reunion (1989 film)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
