Ich will dich – Begegnungen mit Hilde Domin

Directed by Anna Ditges

Anna Ditges accompanied Hilde Domin with her camera during the last two years of her life and in this way created a portrait of the artist - just as she experienced her: sensitive, brusque and headstrong, an egocentric with a biting sense of humor, lots of charm and increasingly affectionate towards the tenacious young woman with the camera. Hilde Domin (born 1909) tells the filmmaker, almost 70 years her junior, with great openness about her childhood in Cologne, 22 years in exile, her return to Germany, her late career as a poet, her great love for her late husband Erwin and her loneliness in old age.
