Synopsis
Impressive pictures and interviews provide information about Rudolf Kortokraks artistic work and the unintentional passion with which he paints his cities, landscapes and portraits. As a companion of Oskar Kokoschka, Kortokraks´ methodology has always been linked to the Schule des Sehens. The film portrays different stages in his life and accompanies the 84-year old painter, who today lives in Maria Plain, withdrawn and impoverished, on moving journeys. In England he opens a depot with hundreds of paintings which had been locked away for decades. There he also meets his wife and daughters, who give deep insight into his character. In France the painter recalls his happy, uncompromising Storm and Stress period. And in Italy the viewer gets to know some real friends, admirers and his muse.
