Renate

Overview

With over 90 works, 87-year-old Renate Welsh is one of the most influential authors in Austrian children's and young adult literature. The film follows her eventful life - from a childhood filled with guilt to her literary work alongside Christine Nöstlinger and Mira Lobe, giving a voice to marginalized outsiders. In her writer's workshops she supports homeless people or farmers with little connection to writing to find their own voice. But a sudden stroke robs her of her own voice and mobility. A touching portrait of an extraordinary author who overcomes both her own and others' silence - never ceasing to tell stories.
