action
Gunther Scholz is shooting the film for the 80th birthday of the architect Hermann Henselmann . The shooting took place at a time when he was in the middle of moving to downtown Berlin. He knows that after a certain age you can no longer cope with the work in a small single-family house yourself. It is also clear to him that if one of the spouses dies, it becomes even more difficult for the remaining one. Living in the center of the city simplifies many things and makes life more pleasant.
Hermann Henselmann tells a lot and apparently uninhibitedly about his life, his beginnings, the buildings that were built, the projects that were not accepted, the honors and about friends, acquaintances and comrades of the party and government. Each of his utterances could be emphasized and reproduced as a quotation. For example, he tells the story of how he sits with Bertolt Brecht until the early hours of the morning and can learn a lot from him. Manfred Wekwerth describes him as Brecht's last Duz friend, which should also be true.
