Who was Helene Weigel? The film uses impressive archive material to follow the staunch communist, acting icon and free thinker from her beginnings in the theater to her escape from the National Socialists and the founding and direction of the Berliner Ensemble. The result is a powerful portrait that finally puts the "woman behind Brecht" in the spotlight.
Germany, Austria, 2026, Maria Wischnewski, 102 min.
