description

…geradezu heraus. IRMTRAUD MORGNER in Chemnitz portrays the personality and work of the writer Irmtraud Morgner (1933-1990) with a focus on her origins, childhood and adolescent years in Chemnitz. 
She lived until her graduation in 1952 with her parents in Chemnitz-Hilbersdorf. Her father was a locomotive driver, her mother, a trained seamstress, was a housewife.
The familial, social and political experiences from this time have strongly influenced her and are literarily processed in almost all her novels, without being directly autobiographical. 
The film documents the real life of Irmtraud Morgner at that time through interviews with witnesses from childhood and school time and puts it in relation to her novels.
