What if ADHD was not a disorder, but rather a set of traits of a type of brain that functions differently than the non-ADHD brain? What if ADHD is genetic and handed down by generations of hunters?

This film tells the story of four Hollywood directors of European origin, who returned to the "Old World" during the Second World War to make propaganda documentaries for the US Army at the front: William Wyler from Alsace, Frank Capra from Italy, Anatole Litvak from Ukraine and - in post-war Germany - Billy Wilder from Austria.
