Love itself is more important than the object that inspires it, writes one woman to another. The one is Rosa Luxemburg, interned as a political prisoner in Breslau, the other Rosa Liebknecht. In Astrid Johanna Ofner’s poetic film essay with shots of Berlin and Vienna, the letters from 1917–1918, shortly before Luxemburg’s murder, become a melancholic flow of love, comfort, and hope. An enchantingly beautiful film.
