Synopsis:

The filmmaker Lenz has left his native Berlin for the Vosges to research the story behind Georg Büchner's novel fragment Lenz. But he soon trades the Alsatian landscape for higher altitudes and more emotional territory: a reunion with his estranged wife Natalie and their son Noah in the Swiss Alps. Like his literary counterpart, the modern-day Lenz follows the Romantic motto: Genius writes its own rules. Against a background of kitsch global tourism - provided by the authentic Zermatt locations - Thomas Imbach's Lenz portrays an unconventional family and a man struggling between euphoria and desperation.

Based on the short story by George Buchner; in winter 1778 the young poet and dramatist, Jacob Michael Lenz, travels into the mountains to find peace of mind with the country parson Oberlin and his family, but he is taken away from the village after several suicide attempts.

Like his literary Alter Ego, the modern Lenz is a tortured visinary, a prisioner of his own fits of euphoria or despair. Imbach captures thes swinging moods with a wied range of visual and acoustic means.
