Based on a three-hour phone call with Marlene Dietrich in 1988 in Paris. Ute was just at the beginning of her career, whereas Marlene looked back on a long, fulfilled life of movies, music, incredible collaborations, love stories and stardom. What a gift to hear her talk about her life, her work and style, her love for the poet Rilke, her complicated relationship with Germany, her sorrow and her fascinations. Ute tells us Marlenes story, and performs her fabulous songs from her life, from the Berlin cabaret years to her Burt Bacharach collaborations.
