A video-portrait of Heiner Müller. With texts - as written sculptures, interspersed with interviews, with and about Müller. Excerpts from various productions, inspirational references regarding Germany today, the recurring projection surface of Müller's texts. A two- sided life, with one leg always beyond the border. The privileged man with boycotted works; the enduring obsessions - (histories. Bayreuth, where Müller directed Wagner, exposes its connection to Auschwitz by the harsh smell of soap with that it tries to smother it. An author during a time searching for its new fronts. For all that, Müller is writing five new plays.
