His art made him a favorite of the bourgeoisie in the early years of the 20th century; his experience of war later turned him into a dissident, and his political stance ultimately into an artist in exile.
The life story of Heinrich Vogeler is a radical search for meaning in times of profound upheaval. It raises universal questions about the understanding and responsibility of art, which are explored in interviews with contemporary artists and cultural figures, building a bridge to the 21st century and today’s concept of art.
In the process, different time levels as well as fictional and documentary footage merge with interviews, archival material, and Vogeler’s paintings into an organic cinematic whole.
