Synopsis
Was it possible to be a good, even outstanding writer and still come to terms with the National Socialist regime? The feature-length documentary MELTING INK takes a closer look at the writers Gottfried Benn, Erich Kästner, Hans Fallada, Jochen Klepper, Ina Seidel and Will Vesper, who remained in Germany between 1933 and 1945, and explores the attitude they developed towards National Socialism in their writings, thoughts and perceptions. A film essay on the complex relationship between art and political action.
