The last years of Heinrich George's life are reconstructed with documentary footage and play scenes. His son G枚tz, named after Heinrich's favorite role of the peasant war hero from Goethe's play "G枚tz von Berlichingen", plays scenes from his father's life and allows his enormous creative power to shine through. Nothing is left out, nothing glossed over in this story of a man with many facets. G枚tz George, one of Germany's best-known actors, is at the center of this homage, which is also a reappraisal of the contradictions in his father's life. As the only follower from the acting profession, Heinrich George had to pay with his life. He was not officially rehabilitated until 1998.
