The GDR is still young, but Thomas Brasch already doesn’t fit in. While his father wants to help to build the new German state, Thomas would rather be a writer. But his very first play is banned, and soon he is expelled from film school as well. His own father betrays him, and Thomas goes to jail. While labouring at a factory, he writes of love, rebellion, and death. He cannot remain in the GDR; he leaves for the West – where he does not wish to be. This radical nonconformist ultimately has no choice but to balance between reality and dream. (Febiofest)
