A Young Man Named Engels – A Portrait in Letters

Directed by Katja Georgi, Klaus Georgi, Fyodor Khitruk and Vadim Kurchevskiy

With Manfred Wagner and Viktor Tatarsky

With the young Friedrich Engel’s letters and drawings from the years between 1838 and 1842, a unique cinematic portrait is created. The viewer thus gets to know the young Engels personally, learning about the significant moments of his development from a bourgeois-liberal upbringing to the theoretical partner of Karl Marx.
