She's an oyster, he's Swiss; she's a poet, he's a playwright; she's adventurous, but vulnerable, and he's adventurous but conservative. When Ingeborg Bachmann and Max Frisch meet for the first time in Paris in the summer of 1958, they are already celebrities in the international literary world. Over the next four years, between his hometown of Zurich and her adopted Rome, they will experience a great, if fleeting, love affair. Director Margarethe von Trotta often portrays women who rebel in one way or another, raising questions of social justice and personal freedom. Ingeborg Bachmann is just that - a bright, rebellious, controversial, independent and influential woman filmmaker who has miraculously come to life on screen thanks to the enormous talent of actress Vicky Krieps.
