 A musical film based on Michael Baumgartl s cantata for solo tenor, chorus and instruments after texts by Ernst Barlach. The cantata is the foundation of a two-part film work that fits into no single genre. The first part documents the rehearsals of the cantata at the Luebeck musik academy. The second part leads with the music into a world of images that circles around Barlach s works and thoughts and relates them to the town of Guestrow and the Mecklenburg countryside where Barlach spent most of his life.
