Director Andi Niessner was production manager on Achternbusch's last two major feature films in 1996 and 1998. In conversation, Niessner manages to reveal the universal artist in a previously unknown intimacy and openness: Achternbusch talks about his parents, his childhood in Lower Bavaria and Munich, and his early days as a writer and filmmaker. We learn who and what influenced him, what his relationship with Bavaria is like, how his attitude toward the church has changed, and what his life is like today.
