Rainer Werner Fassbiner left behind a literary and cinematic legacy which holds a unique place in the history of European film and in the culture of the twentieth century. It evolved as the expression of an era, between 1966 and 1982, in a country which was then another Germany and which no longer exists.

This is a collection of personal interviews with colleagues, friends and family members of the director Rainer Werner Fassbinder. He directed films such as The Marriage of Maria Braun, Berlin Alexanderplatz, Querelle, and Veronika Voss.
