Set on a single late‑summer day in 1956, the film intimately follows Bertolt Brecht as he prepares to leave his lakeside home. With the women of his extended family gathered around—his partner, daughters, friends—he reflects on his life and impending departure, offering a nuanced portrait of his final months.
