In his very personal film, Aljoscha Pause tells the story of his father Rainer Pause, who founded the renowned Pantheon cabaret theater in 1987 and is still on stage there today as Fritz Litzmann. The film shows the motives of an uncompromising artist - and how his life plan influenced the development of his son. A search for traces between father and son, cabaret and the politically turbulent 1970s.
