What happens

The Molander Case (German: Der Fall Molander) is a 1945 German drama film directed by Georg Wilhelm Pabst. The movie is based on the novel Die Sternengeige by Alfred Karrasch. On August 28, 1944, Pabst started shooting the movie for Terra Film. Just as shooting had completed at the Barrandov Studios in Prague and editing had already begun, Prague was liberated by the Red Army and Pabst was forced to abandon the work. The film is considered lost. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
