Helmut Berger, My Mother and Me
â
6.0Documentary
Synopsis
My mother googles the film hero of her youth: Helmut Berger. She is shocked: only an addicted shadow of the former icon seems to be left. She decides to halt the obvious catastrophic decline of the once âmost handsome man in the worldâ. As a consequence, this one-time god of the screen is suddenly sitting on my motherâs sofa in Nordsehl in Lower Saxony. And he stays put - for several months. While he trustingly rolls out his whole life before us, the dividing lines between film team, world star and family intermingle. This is a film about ageing, rising and falling - and about the fact that it is sometimes possible to regain an element of dignity in life.
