Overview

"Marx's life resembles a roller coaster ride. Fluctuating between euphoria and depression throughout his life, he is a genius with many quirks"

In a lavishly produced documentary, we follow in the philosopher's footsteps. Drawing on private letters, secret service dossiers and the informers' reports of the Prussian Ministry of the Interior, we paint a fascinating portrait of a visionary who was badly shaken by fate.
