A wonderful documentary in 14 songs about Hildegard Knef, born one hundred years ago, the first German film star after the war – and the first German world star, in which she herself has her say: in autobiographical texts, concert excerpts and interviews.
A woman who was ahead of her time and never allowed herself to be belittled – not by scandals, not by illness, not by society.Hildegard Knef was an actress, singer, author – and above all, someone who continually reinvented herself.
Luzia Schmid's documentary paints a multifaceted portrait of the "last German diva."A must-see for anyone interested in strong female figures and contemporary German history.
With rarely seen archive material from six decades, historical interviews and personal insights from Knef's daughter Christina Palastanga and her last partner Paul von Schell.
