Das Ende der großen Belehrung – The end of the great instruction

Das Ende der großen Belehrung – The end of the great instruction (2000 / ZDF-ARTE / 60 Min)

A psychological portrait of a father-son relationship: the painter Johannes Heisig has to live with his „über-father’ Bernhard Heisig, a very big name in the state art scene of the GDR. And in reunited Germany the father is also a controversial but important artist. For the son, who has chosen the same occupation, it is agonisingly difficult to liberate himself from under the shadow of his father.
