Armin Mueller-Stahl

Concert: Es gibt Tage.... (There are days…)

A retrospective of the life of Armin Mueller-Stahl in film

The 90-minute film is a retrospective of the life of Armin Mueller-Stahl, with many songs from his last concert in the Berliner Wintergarten(Winter Garden Berlin) and in-depth interviews with the man himself. His musical collaborators also speak: Günther Fischer and Tobias Morgenstern among others. The film is a highly touching portrayal not only of the public successes but also the private moments of this extraordinary artist.

The centerpiece of the film is a concert given by Armin Mueller-Stahl at the Berliner Wintergarten in 2018. In the interview between self-penned songs, for which he plays violin, accompanied by distinguished musicians, the actor, musician, painter and poet looks back on his life and career.

The film, which is not available in public distribution and has also never been broadcast on television, will be shown exclusively at the Bavarian Academy of Dramatic Arts on 19 March 2023.
