About this title

Adolf Winkelmann films his future mother-in-law, who is requested to talk about him, the film-maker, who is standing opposite her with the camera. Frau Schmidt talks about her initial prejudices against the long-haired, bespectacled artist and about the way she overcame them as she got to know him. Adolf Winkelmann said of his film: ‘Depiction of constancy of opinion and change of opinion after confrontation with the object of the opinion.’
