Bertolt Brecht, a renowned theatre revolutionary and poet, reflects on his life in 1956, the year of his passing, in East Berlin. His journey spans from provocative actions during World War I to his poetic and romantic peak in 1920s Munich and Berlin. He escaped Hitler's regime, finding refuge in the US, but later struggled with his role as a classic artist versus a compromised figure in East Germany.
