After the showing there will be a discussion with the film’s director, Christoph Rüter, and writer Katja Lange-Müller, moderated by Thomas Wild. Christoph Rüter’s documentary illuminates the extraordinary life story of the “uncomfortable” Thomas Brasch, philosopher, poet and film-maker. In this personal obituary of the humorous border-hopping poet, Rüter also presents a picture of the history of divided Germany.
