Like Two Merry Aeronauts
The double suicide of Heinrich von Kleist and his companion Henriette Vogel on November 21, 1811 at the Kleiner Wannsee in Berlin is the focus of this film. Based on testimonies from the preparation days and the day of the suicide, as well as the statements of the Wannsee innkeepers taken from the police records, the suicides are reconstructed - from the planning to the execution.
