Six pensioners enjoy the apparent privilege of retirement in Germany. But what was seen as a desirable goal during their working lives turned out to be an obstacle course full of unexpected bureaucratic, social and health challenges, when they retired. Valeriy, Svetlana, Manni, Klaus, Ilona and Laura – all affected by old-age poverty - give us a private insight into their unique fates and share their thoughts and worries as well as their moments of happiness with us in intimate conversations.

This unique cinematic experience dives deep into an artist’s work and reveals his life path, inspiration, and creative process. It explores his fascination with myth and history. Past and present are interwoven to diffuse the line between film and painting, allowing the audience to be completely immersed in the remarkable world of one of the greatest contemporary artists, Anselm Kiefer. Wim Wenders shot this unique portrait over the course of two years in stunning 3D.
