Plot.

In the conclusion of Axel Corti's trilogy (following God Does Not Believe In Us Anymore and Santa Fe) Freddy, a Viennese Jew who emigrated to New York after Hitler's invasion, and Adler, a left-wing intellectual originally from Berlin, return to Austria in 1944 as soldiers in the U.S. Army. Freddy falls in love with the daughter of a Nazi, and Adler attempts to go over to the Communist Zone. But with the advent of the Cold War and continuing anti-semitism, the idealism of both characters is shattered as they find themselves surrounded by cynicism, opportunism, and universal self-deception. This acclaimed, brilliant work is one of the great films of all time.

Welcome in Vienna (German: Wohin und zurück - Teil 3: Welcome in Vienna) is a 1986 Austrian drama film directed by Axel Corti. The film was selected as the Austrian entry for the Best Foreign Language Film at the 60th Academy Awards, but was not accepted as a nominee.It is the third film in the director's six-hour, "Where To and Back" (Wohin und zurück) trilogy. It follows on from the first film, 1982's Wohin und zurück - God Does Not Believe In Us Anymore (German: Wohin und zurück - Teil 1: An uns glaubt Gott nicht mehr - Ferry oder Wie es war), and the second film, 1986's Wohin und zurück - Santa Fe (German: Wohin und zurück - Teil 2: Santa Fé).

"...The trilogy is loosely based on [writer] Troller’s life as a Viennese Jew who fled Europe as a teenager, emigrated to the United States, and returned to Europe during World War II as an American soldier. Each of these full length feature films – which are connected to each other by an advancing chronology and a series of overlapping characters – are meant to be viewed together...".
