In 1988, German filmmaker Volker Schlöndorff sat down with legendary director Billy Wilder (1906-2002) at his office in Beverly Hills, California, and turned on his camera for a series of filmed interviews. (A recut of the 1992 TV miniseries Billy, How Did You Do It?)
The documentary film portrays two families whose fathers were educated at boarding schools in Nazi Germany called "Napola" (Nationalpolitische Erziehungsanstalt, National Political Institutes of Education).
