Barbara Morgenstern – Doing It for Love

In a world where technology and solitude intertwine, Barbara Morgenstern - an influential figure in German electronic pop - embarks on her first musical endeavor in six years. A journey that begins with simple melodies on her laptop within the confines of her home soon evolves as fellow musicians join her, giving life to these intuitive ideas. This reunion is not just a return to making music but also an exploration of self and artistic identity; it raises questions about whether it's a fresh start or a journey back to their roots.The film delves deeper into the intricate dance between politics and art as Morgenstern's music begins to resonate in public spaces, sparking debates about its potential as either a commentary on current affairs or an escape from reality through neo-Biedermeier aesthetics. The larger the band grows, the higher the stakes become - every booking brings potential risks and rewards. Yet amidst the turmoil of the external world, there lies comfort in the creative process, where harmony is found one note at a time.
