Synopsis

Dieter Liewerscheidt, a poet from a small town on the Lower Rhine, reflects on his life in the 1970s and 80s through his verses. His son, a filmmaker, juxtaposes these written words with modern images of the same area, creating a dialogue between past and present. The film presents a blend of architecture, monuments, streets, and parks, revealing the mentality and history of the former Federal Republic of Germany. The visuals resonate with the philosophical and personal themes found in Liewerscheidt's poetry.
