You Can't Go Home Again plot

In a dramatized documentary, director Bart van Esch tells the life story of the German writer Klaus Mann, between 1933 and 1937 and from 1947 to 1949. In these two periods, when Mann lived mainly in Amsterdam and New York, he experienced his 'rise and fall'. . With an emphasis on his Amsterdam years, "Bitter is the Banishment" tells the story of a writer in exile who, in the shadow of his famous father Thomas Mann, is looking for a way, for a purpose in his life, for recognition. Using archive material, photos and dramatized scenes, the film shows a life in which hotel rooms in Amsterdam, New York and Cannes were shelters from the hostile outside world. This is where his novels originated, he received his friends, took drugs and experienced his loneliness.
