Understanding the past as something alive - Theresia Enzensberger transforms the Bauhaus years into a moment of the present. Florian Illies' Luise Schilling is young, eager to learn, and full of future. At the beginning of the tumultuous twenties, she arrives at the Weimar Bauhaus. She studies under professors like Gropius and Kandinsky and immerses herself in the dreams and ideas of her era. Between technology and art, populism and avant-garde, the utopias of an entire society and individual love, Luise realizes that the struggle for great freedom in one's own life never stops. Theresia Enzensberger tells the story of a young woman navigating the chaos of her life with speed and striking relevance: from the conflicts between the right and the left to the leap of a young couple into a nighttime river.
