Der Fall Lena Christ

In April 1920, the Bavarian writer Lena Christ put an end to her own life in the Munich Waldfriedhof. The film tells the story of the tragic life of this unhappy woman. "The troubled life and romantic death of the waitress, nun and writer who was illegitimate, mistreated by her own mother, and married twice" is the film's subtitle. It tells the story of Lena Christ's life based on her autobiographical novel "Memories of a Redundant Person" and the book written by her husband, Peter Benedix "The Life of Lena Christ".
