Walter Kaufmann - Welch ein Leben!

Documentary film about the Jewish, German-Australian writer Walter Kaufmann, who died in Berlin in 2021 at the age of 97. The film follows in the footsteps of his travels, which he undertook all over the world, for example to the USA, Australia, Japan, Cuba, Israel and East Germany. Significant events, catastrophes and upheavals in the history of these and other countries continue to have an impact to this day and are reflected in the life of the cosmopolitan, who not only shared his experiences in successful novels and reportages, but also took the side of the persecuted, disenfranchised and excluded in his youth.
