Seen through a stylish 1970s Munich filmmaker, the film captures the city’s optimism, change and emancipation. Weaving excerpts from Lemke’s works—LIEBE, SO SCHÖN WIEBE (1971), SYLVIE (1973), IDOLE (1976) and AMORE (1978)—he narrates how decade shaped Munich, quoting “Back then we thought life was in our hands; in the ’80s we became fodder ourselves.”
