Against the background of the political and social upheavals of the 20th century, the three-part series tells the story of the Manns, the most important German artist family of the first half of the 20th century.
Elisabeth (Katharina Eckerfeld) leads through the history of her family, probably the most famous German family of writers - the Manns. A kaleidoscope of eyewitness interviews, memories and game scenes tells a novel of the century in three parts.
