Presented at Lo schermo dell'arte Film Festival 2014

The wounds inflicted on German culture by WW2 and Nazism have begun to heal; the country is  now fully immersed in the process of globalization. The film proposes a trip through German contemporary art: how has modern German history influenced the actions of a generation; how does this generation feel about its prospects for the future? The director concentrates on exploring the ideas behind representative works and, along with interviews of protagonists of the international scene from the 1960s to the present (including Thomas Demand, Olafur Eliasson, Dan Perjovschi and Gerhard Richter), pays special attention to the theme of national artistic identity.
