Grüße aus Sarmatien für den Dichter Johannes Bobrowski

In this docudrama Rosa von Praunheim looks into Johann Wolfgang von Goethe’s sexual orientation, especially into his erotic experiences during his travels in Italy. Contrary to the common belief, von Praunheim argues that Goethe was not a heartbreaker and conqueror after all. It was only in Italy, that he had diverse sexual experiences, not least with men. Von Praunheim bases his assumption on letters written by Goethe to his friend Friedrich Heinrich Jacobi about these sexual encounters. Some of the content of these letters is re-encated in the film. At the same time, historians and linguists analyse and classify the letters into their historical context.

Anna Ditges accompanied Hilde Domin with her camera during the last two years of her life and in this way created a portrait of the artist - just as she experienced her: sensitive, brusque and headstrong, an egocentric with a biting sense of humor, lots of charm and increasingly affectionate towards the tenacious young woman with the camera. Hilde Domin (born 1909) tells the filmmaker, almost 70 years her junior, with great openness about her childhood in Cologne, 22 years in exile, her return to Germany, her late career as a poet, her great love for her late husband Erwin and her loneliness in old age.
