About this title
A portrait of the life of Jakob Michael Reinhold Lenz (1751–1792), a playwright of the Sturm und Drang period and friend of the young Goethe, with evident parallels to the life of the filmmaker himself. Lenz's progressive mental deterioration and his tragic trajectory are central to the film.
