After the outstanding global success of "The Threepenny Opera," the cinema wants to win over the play's celebrated author. But Bertolt Brecht is not prepared to play by the rules of the film industry. His idea of the "Threepenny Film" is radical, uncompromising, political, pointed. He wants to make a completely new kind of film and knows that the production company will never go for it. All they care about is box office success. He takes the production company to court to prove that money interests prevail over his right as an author. A poet stages reality - that has never happened before!
