GW Pabst: film director, patriarch, "the Great Unknown". The giant of German-language cinema, at last told privately and artistically in all his in all his contradictoriness. Silent films interweave with real stories in a journey from the 1920s to today. A film about dream and trauma, about an enormous artistic, film-historical and personal heritage and about the change in the image of male pose and female power...
Grumpy widower Walter lives alone with his dog in Regensburg and spends his time writing restaurant reviews on the internet. But when he meets his old childhood sweetheart, art professor Alice, whom he had unsuccessfully proposed to 40 years earlier, his life changes radically once again.
