Movie in German language: Nöstlinger - Wieso und überhaupt

Christine Nöstlinger’s books have been with us for generations – she has engaged with children and young people as equals and has consistently provided new material for over 50 years. She got straight to the heart of matters, in a realistic and unpretentious way, without sugar-coating anything, speaking plainly and without taking herself too seriously. Tracing her life story and the issues that preoccupied Nöstlinger throughout her life, this documentary explores the social changes that have taken place in Austria over the last 50 years and examines questions of childhood, emancipation and solidarity.

Stunning archive footage is complemented by recent interviews with Nöstlinger’s daughters, as well as artists such as Stefanie Sargnagl and Ursula Strauss.
