Die MACHT DER GEFüHLE

A child dies during the war; a child is beaten to death; a state funeral for an assassinated politician; farewell; departure of a train; Giuseppe Verdi, Rigoletto, final act.
Five leaps in time, five changes of place – numerous fragments and a time lapse, communicating a different experience than the moment, that has in fact been experienced. The central theme, characterizing this collage of films, documentary sequences, archive material and opera scenes, are human emotions and their subjectivity. (Goethe Institut)
