Lydia - filmed in the late 1970s and written down in diary sketches in 1992, the movie tells the story of the lives of Lydia and Wolfgang B. over two decades. She, translator of French literature, he, Romance studies professor. Between life crisis and "joie de vivre", full of passion and disciplined work, driven by convictions and doubts and the fear of a fatal second tumor, their film recordings and Wolfgang's diary texts fragmentary report about the beauty and the adversity of a symbiotic marriage and yet at the same time about a whole life.
