Max Kronawitter was a passionate filmmaker; he shot all over the world. Until a year ago, a malignant brain tumor completely changed his life. How he manages not to despair about it.
Max Kronawitter, 61, has made more than 200 films. About the death march from what was then the Dachau concentration camp, about Holocaust survivors, about a young woman who makes it from a brothel to law school. Close to people in existential situations, often about death and dying. He was diagnosed with a malignant brain tumor a year ago and everything has changed since then. He can no longer make films; Kronawitter has turned from an observer into a protagonist. He wrote a book about it.
