Das Verschwinden des Philip S

Rudi Dutschke is shot on the street, stones shatter the windows of the Springer building. These are tense times when Philip S., a sensitive and unconventional Swiss man, meets the young mother Ulrike at the Berlin Film Academy. Far removed from the unrest, they create a world free from directives, dedicated to aesthetics and familial security. However, their everyday life gradually becomes politicized; they establish children's stores, design flyers, and write pamphlets. After a prison stay, nothing is the same for the lovers as it once was. Ulrike Edschmid tells in her moving book about the unstoppable loss of a person who goes underground armed. She reflects on the formative years of her generation and on a tragedy that has never been described in this way before.
