CN: Violence
Germany, in the present. The artist Vika Kirchenbauer injures her hand, encounters hostility at the hospital, watches demonstrations and police violence from the window of her apartment, and takes up a professorship in art. Her own injury, her role as a witness, and her position as a sworn employee of the state form the starting point for an essayistic reflection on the power of the state and the potential of art. Cinema as a space where a question of fundamental conditions is posed: What kind of art can emerge in a society where injustice prevails, and to what end?
