Plot
The film is set in the 1930s in Germany, and its about a writer, a political writer but he didn't think of himself as one. The on going consolidation of the Nazi's powerbase around him brought him immense pressure and caused him to descend into a deep personal crisis and lose his mental balance.{{Cite web |date=2024-05-29 |title=DEFA |url=https://www.defa-stiftung.de/ |access-date=2024-05-31 |website=www.defa-stiftung.de |language=de-DE}}
