Clash of Futures depicts the history of Europe between the end of the First World War in 1918 and the German invasion of Poland in September 1939. The multilingual, documentary drama series condenses history into the subjective experience of individuals. It focuses on the fate of thirteen people from nine nations. [2] The protagonists include the Communist Hans Beimler, the silent film star Pola Negri, the later Auschwitz commander Rudolf Höß and the French anarchist May Picqueray. In addition, there is a continuation of the story of the Russian child soldier Marina Yurlova and the war reporter Charles Edward Montague from 14 - Diaries of the Great War (2014). [3]

The source for the scripts were the protagonists' diaries, letters and memoirs. The series was co-produced by LOOKSfilm (Germany), IRIS Group (Luxembourg) and Les Films d'Ici (France), with Fortis Imaginatio (Germany) and in association with Wajda Studio (Poland). The shooting took place in Luxembourg, France, Belgium and Germany. [4]
