Munich, 1965. An apartment somewhere in the city centre. 20 years have passed since the end of the war. A young rebel and an art history professor’s shared past holds a secret. An unexpected encounter turns into an intellectual generational duel where the characters, while reflecting each other, swap their roles. Who will ultimately turn out to be the author of the lecture Questions of Ethics and Morality and the controversial enfant terrible?
