Denk ich an Deutschland in der Nacht - Das Leben des Heinrich Heine

In a lyrical meditation on exile, the film follows the life of the celebrated poet Heinrich Heine as a restless observer of 19th-century Europe. Through his sharp wit, intimate letters, and enduring longing for a homeland that continuously slips through his fingers, the narrative threads together memory, politics, and art. Heine’s voice becomes both compass and critique, guiding readers through a landscape of love, disappointment, and the stubborn quest for freedom of thought. A portrait that blends history with intimate reflection, balancing humor and heartbreak.
