Key art for the film 'The Captain' by Robert Schwentke. The purpose of the artwork was to fully immerse the audience in the character’s state of mind, by condensing the film's history in a close-up of the actor Max Hubacher's face.


The film takes place in 1945, during the Third Reich, when the Allies force the Nazi army to withdraw. Scared and in order to survive, Willi Herold, a deserter, steals a captain’s identity. Then he has to do everything needed to convince everyone that he is the real Captain.
