A Whispering in the Mountain of Things

Dominik Graf, now a celebrated filmmaker, revisits his late father Robert Graf’s acting career (1956-1966). During those years, Robert appeared in 20 feature films and 25 television dramas directed by Hoffmann, Staudte, Siodmak, Sturges, and Comencini. Through archival clips and intimate reflections, Dominik meets his father anew and scrutinizes West German society and its film industry of that era, where scripted narratives often outweighed real life.
