Narrator, Felix Kramer.
"Nearly a hundred years ago, a radical artistic utopia was born in Germany. Founded in 1919 by Walter Gropius, Bauhaus was supposed to unite sculpture, painting, design and architecture into a single combined constructive discipline. Bauhaus constituted one of the most significant contributions to everyday 20th-century culture and influential contemporary designs, and it was never just an artistic experiment. Confronted with the social conditions of that particular time, as well as the experience of World War I, the movement concerned itself with the political and social connotations of design from the very outset. Hence, Bauhaus's history is not just the history of art, but also the history of an era that stretches from the early 20th century to the modern day. [The film] describes the fascinating story of Bauhaus as a statement, but also the failure and renewal of a social utopia. It tells of artists, scientists and architects today, who, in their examinations of current challenges also relate to Bauhaus. This story unfolds while asking questions still relevant today: How do we want to live, where do we want to go?" --Container.
