The painter Gabriele Münter and the Russian artist Wassily Kandinsky lived and worked in Murnau am Staffelsee, Bavaria, at the beginning of the 20^th century, their love of art and for each other bringing them together. Kandinsky and Münter forged the aesthetic awakening that led to modern art and co-founded the Blue Rider (Der Blaue Reiter) group. But while Kandinsky enjoyed fame, admiration and artistic and financial recognition, Münter struggled to free her life, which was affected by his secrecy and outbursts, from his shadow. Their relationship became increasingly complex, wearing and above all, toxic.

After the screening Rosenmüller will participate in a conversation with Marta Ruiz del Arbol, curator of the exhibition Gabriele Münter. The great Woman Expressionist Painter, and Martin Reichardt, director of the Goethe Institut in Madrid, which is sponsoring the preview.
