"Unhappy is the country that has no heroes! - No. Unhappy is the country that needs heroes." (Bert Brecht put it in Galileo's mouth in a similar way.)
The short film Heldin Nr. 0 dives into the world of seemingly mute antiheroes and gives them the voice to tell their very own story. The fictional characters of Brechtian poetry mingle with the voices of real experiences. We experience them in their most private moments of inner turmoil, when there is no physical or political way out. When angels take revenge on their seducers. When mothers degenerate into guns. When wanting to be good means having to be evil. bluespots productions celebrates the zero!

Voice of the press
"For example, Brecht's poem 'On the Seduction of Angels'. The Augsburg-based ensemble Bluespots Productions have dedicated their film 'Heldin Nr. 0' to Brecht's poem, inventing and editing together several short scenes. And so you can hear the pornographic lines of seduction, underlaid with hard beats, while Elisabeth Engelmüller forms small stacks of books in a factory hall and Martin Schülke invades her sphere of activity as a suit villain."
