LYDIA - filmed in the late 1970s and written down in diary sketches in 1992. The movie tells the story of the lives of Lydia and Wolfgang B. over two decades. Between life crises and "joie de vivre", driven by convictions and doubts and the fear of a fatal second tumour, their film recordings and Wolfgang's diary texts report in fragments about the beauty and the adversity of a symbiotic marriage and, at the same time, about a whole life.
