Read Büchner's text instead

The main figure acts as if he should be Klaus Kinski, but cheaper and available. The script tries to inflate on "Lenz" by Georg Büchner, using many parts and stretching others.

Before and after, some images are added, trying to add some simplified "political" points, but untrue to Georg Büchner who was a proper revolutionary in his home of Hesse (Germany).

Lenz was an author some 250 years ago, son of a clergyman, desperate. Is he mad or what is? Can he find peace in the home of religious pastor Oberlin?
