FILM
Who was Helene Weigel? Using impressive archive material, the film follows the convinced communist, acting icon, and free spirit from her early days in theater to her escape from the Nazi regime to the founding and management of the Berliner Ensemble. The result is a powerful portrait that finally puts the “woman at Brecht's side” in the spotlight.
Directed by Maria Wischnewski
Starring August Diehl, Birgit Minichmayr, Katharina Thalbach
