　　奥地利诗人英格褒·巴赫曼与瑞士文豪马克斯·弗里施坠入爱河而又分手，为情所伤的她开启了前往沙漠的避世之旅。本片通过对巴赫曼与弗里施、德国作曲家汉斯·亨策、奥地利剧作家阿道夫·欧佩尔之间故事的交叉叙述，刻画了这位诗人从“为情所伤”到“追求意志独立”的女性自我觉醒过程。曾以《德国姐妹》拿下威尼斯电影节金狮奖的导演玛加蕾特·冯·特罗塔再次凭借其对女性人物细致入微的体察，展现了巴赫曼在公共光环背后更为真实多元的形象。入围2023年柏林电影节主竞赛单元。

　　Vienna, 1920. The Austro-Hungarian Empire has collapsed. Peter Perg returns home from the Great War, after seven years as a Russian POW. Vienna is experiencing the multiplicity of political, social and artistic freedom, but also the rise of anti-democratic movements, insecurity and unemployment. Peter, a former police inspector, feels like a stranger in the new Austrian Republic. While wanting to leave town, Peter is confronted with the murder of one of his former comrades. He decides to stay and instead bring the killer to justice. His ally is Dr. Theresa Körner, a determined and cool-headed forensic doctor. The two are linked not only by this case, but also by a deeper, shared history. As their investigation progresses, they realise that they are not just up against a systematic killer, who tortures his victims, but also face disapproval and intrigue from within the police force. Though determined to solve the crime, Peter, harbouring his own secrets, increasingly becomes tormented by existential questions: What is truth? What is heroism in the time of war? And all the while he fails to see the mounting danger before him.
