Summary :
From Romanticism to Expressionism, from Dadaism to "degenerated" art, this film takes us on a fascinating crossing of German history. These are the works themselves signed by the greatest German painters (Caspar David Friedrich, Emil Nolde, Otto Dix, Hannah Höch, George Grosz or Gherard Richter) that tell the hopes and torments of a nation, from modernity to totalitarian madness. A skillful weaving between tables and archive footage which allows both to (re)discover essential works and to dive into the captivating cultural, social and political history of Germany, inseparable from that of Europe.
