Take a look in advance

Writer and Nobel Prize winner Thomas Mann and his daughter Erika (another phenomenal performance by Sandra Hüller, following *Anatomy of Fall* and *Zone of Interest*) travel through war-torn Germany in 1949. After sixteen years in exile, they visit both American-occupied Frankfurt and Soviet-controlled Weimar.

The legendary author of *Death in Venice* and *The Magic Mountain* is a literary rock star to his fellow Germans, who line up everywhere to see him. He delivers several speeches in which he warns that, in the wake of Nazism, Germany must confront its past and renew itself spiritually and morally. Meanwhile, his daughter Erica keeps in touch by phone with her beloved brother Klaus, who is also a writer but has a strained relationship with his father. Tensions within this fractured family escalate as father and daughter Mann are confronted with their lost homeland.
