Summer 1928: Anita Berber lies weakened in a Berlin hospital. Just a short time ago, she was a star, embodying the new era, on stage, in dozens of films, living and loving excessively. She thinks back on her path to divine dance, on the great Fritz Lang and the ambitious Marlene Dietrich, who soon copied Anita's style. She wanted to make dance an art form, a celebration of life – others saw only scandal. Steffen Schroeder recounts Anita Berber's exciting life, which embodies this era – between self-determination, greatest freedom and risk. She died at the age of only twenty-nine. A gripping panorama with a passionate heroine.
