Die Geträumten

Description

Paul Celan is the son of Jews who died in a Nazi concentration camp, a poet whose popularity is growing. Ingeborg Bachman is the daughter of a soldier, a member of the NSDAP, a student, studying philosophy. They met in Vienna in 1948; he is 27, she is 22. Vienna was an intermediate stop for Celan before Paris, where Bachman could come extremely rarely - problems with money, problems with visas. But they became lovers, and their relationship - passionate, painful, with breaks for marriages and novels - stretched for two decades, leaving the world a unique love letter.
