Helmut Berger My Mother and Me

My mother googles the film hero of her youth Helmut Berger She is shocked only an addicted shadow of the former icon seems to be left She decides to halt the obvious catastrophic decline of the once most handsome man in the world As a consequence this onetime god of the screen is suddenly sitting on my mothers sofa in Nordsehl in Lower Saxony And he stays put for several months While he trustingly rolls out his whole life before us the dividing lines between film team world star and family intermingle This is a film about ageing rising and falling and about the fact that it is sometimes possible to regain an element of dignity in life
