Movie description:
Based on the autobiographical novel »The Journey« of Bernward Vesper, the son of a famous nazi-poet and life’s companion of the female terrorist Gudrun Ensslin. The novel has been called inheritance of a whole generation, because the destiny it describes stands as an enlarged and therefore recognizable example for those influences imprinting the whole generation of the sixties: Those born during the war learn how to think during the new beginning. Instead of being able to orient themselves in relation to a fatherly ideal, they see themselves confronted with their fathers’ guilt.
The situation leads to angry, moral demands of the children. After several years of student revolt, it culminates in either resignation or in the blind hatred of terrorism. The film tells two childhood stories: The first builds the framework. It narrates how a father with his five-year old son escapes terrorism. The second story describes the development of the father, who – out of opposition to his nazi-father – gets involved with terrorism.
