Helene Weigel: Revolutionärin im Rampenlicht plot

Using archival material, the film follows Helene Weigel—a convinced communist, acting icon, and free spirit—from her early years in the theater to her flight from the Nazi regime and the founding and leadership of the Berliner Ensemble. The result is a portrait that puts this woman in the spotlight.
