SYNOPSIS

“As long as film is not taught at school, we will not take note of the most important revolution in human education.” Béla Balász In 1968, the classroom of a girls’ grammar school in Munich is transformed into a film studio under the direction of young director Edgar Reitz. The film lesson begins: the first documented attempt in film history to teach film aesthetics as an independent subject. – 2023: Edgar Reitz, the world-famous director of the “Heimat” trilogy, is approached by an elderly lady. She identifies herself as one of his former students. They arrange a class reunion.
