Die Finsternis plot

Louis-Ferdinand Céline became famous with “Voyage au bout de la Nuit” (Journey to the End of the Night) from 1932. The French writer fought in the First World War and worked as a doctor in a working-class neighborhood in Paris. He then caused scandal in his own country through his anti-Semitic pamphlets. In 1944 he and his wife sought refuge in Germany. “Die Finsternis” follows the couple's trail through a country on the brink of destruction. The film takes the viewer along in dark, associative images in which archive material, interviews and staged images intertwine. In the voice-over we hear the words of the writer.
